Arrow steps onto a black star, striking Hamilton’s iconic pose against a vivid green backdrop emblazoned with “Hamilton: An American Musical.” This clever mashup of Broadway’s Hamilton and DC’s Arrow is a treat for comic con fans, bringing the excitement of SDCC 2016 to life for entertainment and pop culture enthusiasts.

Well this was unexpected! During a recent panel at San Diego Comic-Con, the subject of doing a “musical” episode of the CW’s Arrow came up and, of course, John Barrowman (a musical theatre veteran) decided to get the entire cast to sing the song “You’ll Be Back” from the smash-hit musical Hamilton.

The result is equal parts awkward and hilarious. What starts as a soft, hesitant whisper of the song ends up being a giant clap and sing along that infects the whole room. It’s fantastic.

Check it out below:
