Exclusive: Watch Sophie Sing. Marja-Lewis Ryan speaks on the upcoming episode, and Sophie Suarez sings in an exclusive clip!
By Mey Rude for OUT –
This has been the best season of The L Word: Generation Q, and it’s about to get even better.
In the sixth episode of season three, Shane, Alice, and Sophie go on a magical, and musical journey through their trauma after taking ayahuasca at a retreat. The resulting episode is pure sapphic magic and pure queer greatness.
OUT shared a special exclusive look at one of the songs from the new episode, and we talked to showrunner Marja-Lewis Ryan about how the musical came to be.
“I’m a deep, deep, deep theater nerd,” Ryan says. “I have always wanted to do a musical. I’ve been trying to get someone to let me direct Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat live on television for years now.”
She told Showtime years ago that she wanted to do a musical episode, and now her dream has come true. You can even see evidence of her testing out her ideas in last season’s karaoke and promposal episodes (the promposal choreographer also choreographed this episode!).
In the episode, Ryan encouraged everyone on the L Word team to flex their muscles and show off as much as they could. The results are seen in everything from the performances, to the songs, to the dancing, to the costumes and hair, to the lighting, and every other part of the episode.
