Elsbeth Murderers Pay Homage to Chicago's ‘Cell Block Tango' in Musical Finale Sneak Peek (Exclusive)

He had it coming! On this Thursday's Elsbeth season finale (CBS, 9/8c), the titular lawyer finds herself behind bars with some of the show's most memorable killers, who can't help breaking out into an iconic Chicago song in TVLine's exclusive sneak peek. More from TVLine ADVERTISEMENT Advertisement As you'll recall from last week's episode, Elsbeth was arrested for criminal harassment and learned that she was being transferred to the Midtown Detention Center that also houses several of the criminals she helped put away. Among the bevy of returning guest stars are Stephen Moyer (as theater director Alex Modarian), Retta (as elite matchmaker Margo Clarke), Gina Gershon (as plastic surgeon Dr. Vanessa Holmes), Elizabeth Lail (as tech CEO Quinn Powell), Arian Moayed (as cocktail bar owner Joe Dillon), André De Shields (as fashion designer Matteo Hart), Alyssa Milano (as former mafia princess Pupetta Del Ponte) and Mary-Louise Parker (as decluttering guru Freya Frostad). In the above video, several of those familiar faces pay homage to Chicago's infamous 'Cell Block Tango' musical number, including Alyssa Milano, who starred in the Broadway show. At first, Elsbeth watches Retta and her co-horts belt out the lyrics and move around her, before it's revealed just how the song and dance routine is taking place. Putting together such an ambitious finale, with its many guest stars and musical performance, 'was crazy,' showrunner Jonathan Tolins tells TVLine. 'Just finding out who was available and interested in coming back,' he explains, 'and getting the rights to the song from Chicago and writing a new version that could be approved, specifically, because they have to know every word before they'll give approval, it was a scramble.'
