A promo for the episode opens with a sharp-suited Barry in a dream-like sequence as he sees a Kara and asks, "What the hell is going on?"

Music Meister then explains, "You are in a movie musical" Later adds, "Follow the script. Reach the end of the plot, you get to go home. Although I should mention that you die in here, you die out there."

Carlos Valdes who plays Cisco, shared details about the musical episode and told Entertainment Weekly, "Darren Criss, whom I went to college with — so weird — he plays Music Meister, who's essentially the baddie of the episode. He puts Barry and Kara into this shared dream, this sort of nightmare. He brings them into this illusory world where their objective is to literally figure out the plot of this traditional musical comedy. It's very self-aware. "

He added, "It takes place in their own heads. We embedded into the script this idea that Barry and his mom used to bond over musicals, musicals always made things better. And so, this plot is based on that idea of musicals not just as a form of escapism, but also as a form of emotional catharsis"

The official synopsis for The Flash season 3 episode 17 reads as follows:

Barry (Grant Gustin) and team are surprised when Mon-El (guest star Chris Wood) and Hank Henshaw (guest star David Harewood) arrive on their Earth carrying a comatose Supergirl (guest star Melissa Benoist) who was whammied by the Music Meister (guest star Darren Criss). Unable to wake her up, they turn to Team Flash to save her. However, the Music Meister surprises The Flash and puts him in a similar coma, one that Team Flash can't cure. Kara and Barry wake up without their powers in an alternate reality where life is like a musical and the only way to escape is by following the script, complete with singing and dancing, to the end
