Fox, which has been doing really well with “Glee” and incredibly well with “American Idol,” has apparently decided to turn all its shows into musicals for one week in May. “Fringe” is part of that equation and Jasika Nicole, who plays Astrid, explains to SciFi Wire how it’ll work on her show:

"When I first read that, I thought, 'How are they going to pull this off? This is really weird.' And it makes complete sense within the story. It's essentially Walter kind of manifesting his idea. He's trying to get his mind off of, you know, what's going on because he's just waiting to see what's going to go on with Peter. And essentially he's kind of created this little world in his head. And so everything is super-symbolic so all the characters embody the qualities that he notices about them the most, which is really neat. And it happens in the 1940s. Everybody's in 1940s dress, but they still have cell phones and stuff. So it's just his brain, because he's telling a story to someone. Sort of like a bedtime story to help ease his anxiety. So we get to sing in it."

Nicole, Lance Reddick and Blair Brown apparently all have musical backgrounds. “Fringe” returns with new episodes April 1. Find all of SciFi’s story on the matter here. Follow Herc on Twitter!! Follow Evil Herc on Twitter!!
