Riverdale<\/em> is finally back next week, and it’s back with a bang. <\/p>\n

When the principal declares that Kevin can’t perform a number from the musical Hedwig and the Angry Inch<\/em> in the school variety show, Kevin and the entire school rebel, turning the entire show into basically just a production of the Broadway hit about a rock singer telling the somewhat tragic story of her life after a botched sex change operation.<\/p>\n

E! News has your exclusive first look at the poster, which features Kevin made up as Hedwig, along with a tagline: “Scratch that itch.” <\/p>\n

Even Cole Sprouse<\/a><\/strong>, who has often said he doesn’t want to sing, will be singing<\/a> once again, and each performance will represent the inner struggles of each character, and there might even be a “forbidden showmance” to look out for. (Hopefully no one gets murdered at the end this time, though.) <\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

“Musical episodes have become a yearly tradition on Riverdale<\/em>, but this year, we wanted to try something different,” Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa, Riverdale creator and executive producer, said in a statement when the episode was announced. “When we heard that [songwriter] Stephen Trask<\/strong> was a fan of Riverdale, we thought\u2014is there a way we can do Hedwig and still have it tie into the stories we’re telling?”<\/p>\n

“Doing a deep dive, we figured out a cool way to use classic songs like \u2018Wicked Little Town’ and \u2018Midnight Radio’ that made total sense and are just amazing and iconic. And bonus, Hedwig<\/em> is literally Cole’s favorite musical!” Aguirre-Sacasa continued.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

Make no mistake though: This is Kevin’s show. And he looks awesome. <\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

The episode airs next Wednesday at 8 p.m. on The CW. <\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n
