It’s a moment that’s been years in the making\u2014and it may be the closest thing viewers get to a The Good Fight<\/em> musical episode. We’re talking about the long-teased duet between Christine Baranski<\/strong> and Audra McDonald<\/strong> to Prince<\/a><\/strong>‘s “Raspberry Beret.” E! News has the exclusive sneak peek at the moment above.<\/p>\n

In the scene, Diane Lockart (Baranski) and Liz Reddick-Lawrence (McDonald), partners at the law firm at the center of the legal drama, are talking music when Liz is surprised Diane favors Prince over somebody like Renee Fleming<\/strong>. It’s a moment of bonding between the two powerful women.<\/p>\n

“Well, it’s really an excuse so that Audra and I can sing,” Baranski said about the scene at the 2019 Television Critics Association winter press tour.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

“I never thought we’d be singing a Prince duet on television, but there you have it, you know,” McDonald said.<\/p>\n

With so many Broadway veterans part of the cast, the topic of musical episodes always comes up for co-creators Robert<\/strong> and Michelle King<\/strong>. It’s something they’ve resisted\u2014and seems like will continue to resist.<\/p>\n

“We come to things like this, and we’re on panels, and they say, \u2018Well, why don’t you do a musical episode?’ And musical episodes never interest me because I’m not a fan of musicals, but I also always feel like…I don’t know. It feels like a bulls–tty TV thing,” Robert King said at TCA. “And yet music is a part of our lives, and TV just doesn’t have people just sing the way they do in real life, because every time you sing, you’re paying somebody $25,000 or $30,000 for publishing. And if they sing it twice, then the price escalates.”<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

In addition to the “Raspberry Beret” scene, season three of The Good Fight<\/em> will feature Sarah Steele<\/strong>‘s character sing a song from A Chorus Line<\/em> to annoy Michael Sheen<\/a><\/strong>‘s character.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

Robert King said the moment between Baranski and McDonald comes out of a “natural place” and Baranski said they were “very careful not to sell it.”<\/p>\n
