Besides the music (and believe us, there are some gems in this episode), the next best part of the musical is the cast of high school girls portraying important and iconic Supernatural characters.
"I'm really excited for the fans to see the boys reacting to seeing their lives portrayed by high school kids putting on a musical," Thompson said. "I'm really excited for people to see the kids in this, because they're really phenomenal. They did such a great job both embodying and interpreting these characters that we all know and love, from Sam, Dean, Cas, John, Mary, all the people we love from the show."
That means that while Castiel will be in the 200th episode, it's going to be a different version of the angel fans know so well.
"Castiel is in the episode but I, Misha Collins, am not," Collins told E! News. "Have I met [the girl playing Cas]? No, and I'm going to kill them. But I've heard that it's funny. There should be some comedy there. From all accounts, it's either going to be a screaming success or an absolute train wreck."
So was Collins bummed that he didn't get to appear in the episode? Oh yeah, he was.
"When I saw the script, I also sent an email (I wasn't so audacious to show up in the writers room)," Collins said. "I sent an email, and I was like, 'I would love to be in the 200th episode because it's such a milestone and it's such a big deal.' And again, Jeremy, very eloquently, explained how they wanted to prioritize quality in this episode so they were casting Castiel with another actor. I thought that was a good choice."
