You know, they’re all so talented and so committed — they just rolled with the punches and learned the songs really quickly. Alison recorded her songs in like two takes, she’s really amazing. And I mean they’re all — Yvette and her amazing singing voice and Chevy, his singing in the episode is amazing — they’re all just really talented, quick, sharp performers, so it was a lucky thing that the show made it this easy for us to do a musical.
