Unlike musical shows like Smash, Crazy Ex-Girlfriend created songs that were character-driven. "At their best, songs in a musical use their heightened emotional heft to increase empathy for their characters,” says Constance Grady. "The songs give the audience a chance to live in a character’s head and understand how and why they think and feel the way they do."
