Preview ‘90210’s Musical Episode
The CW was gracious enough to share a few preview photos from tomorrow’s episode, titled Wide Awake and Dreaming, of 90210 where West Beverly High alum Brenda Walsh (Shannen Doherty) directs the new West Bev gang in their high school production of the hit Broadway musical Spring Awakening:
But, I know that some folks don’t like to read/see/hear about spoilers before the episodes air so I’m putting all the spoilery stuff behind the cut. After the jump, check out a few preview pics of tomorrow’s ep along with a short episode synopsis …
ANNIE AND TY DECIDE TO SPEND THE NIGHT TOGETHER — As opening night of “Spring Awakening” nears, Annie (Shenae Grimes) and Ty (guest star Adam Gregory) have had a chance to spend a lot of time together and Ty reveals his plans for a one-on-one after-party in his hotel room. Harry (Rob Estes) catches Annie and Ty kissing backstage and later he and Debbie (Lori Loughlin) express their concern for how fast Annie’s relationship is progressing. Silver (Jessica Stroup) is overwhelmed with stage managing the play so Dixon (Tristan Wilds) offers to help backstage, prompting the two to get close. Naomi (AnnaLynne McCord) refuses to accept her parents’ divorce and is determined to get them back on track. Brenda (guest star Shannen Doherty), Kelly (guest star Jennie Garth) and Ryan (Ryan Eggold) confront Adrianna (guest star Jessica Lowndes) about an obvious substance abuse problem, giving Annie the chance to take the lead in the play. Jessica Walter, Dustin Milligan and Michael Steger also star. Paul Lazarus directed the episode written by Sean Reycraft (#105).
I totally love that they are doing Spring Awakening as their high school musical … tho, I doubt they’re gonna bust out the nude scenes that are featured in the actual Broadway production. If I recall, Brenda performed fully nekkid or chickened out of performing in the nude (I can’t recall which it was) in a play back on Beverly Hills, 90210 during the college years … I hope this isn’t merely an issue of plotline recycling cuz … that’d be bad, no? In any event, I’m really looking forward to this week’s new ep. I believe it is the last one that Shannen Doherty filmed for 90210 (she only committed to appearing in 4 eps thus far) so it may be some time until we get to see Brenda Walsh on the small screen. What a great time to bring back Donna Martin (Tori Spelling), don’tchathink?

In the original, Brenda was in a college play and chickened out of stripping down by turning it into a comedy bit. As I remember it, she kept trying to take off her clothes but kept finding another layer. The director was not pleased. And now that I’ve shared my obscure/useless knowledge for the day…. :)

Brenda was also the lead in “Cat on a Hot Tin Roof” after she won the role over Laura (the crazy ding-a-ling) amidst a rumour that she slept with the director (Roy Randolph).
