If the audience can roll with the Naked Time and the Naked Now, why not an ‘everyone breaks into song and dance’ episode?
Comment on Star Trek: Strange New Worlds to Feature First-Ever Star Trek Musical Episode | SDCC 2023

Trek has a very, very long history of having weird shit happen to the crew because of space anomalies–
Once More With Feeling was in 2001, and Trek trying to follow in BTVS’s wake would have felt derivative at the time. The closest it came was The Doctor’s hallucinations… and that was hilarious.
If anyone can pull this off its the SNW crew.

There was also a musical episode of Xena. I forget which came first.

The retro poster has a Once More With Feeling vibe. Hoping Subspace Rhapsody will approach (or even meet) the standard that Buffy set as far as TV show musical episodes go.

I was soooo skeptical when they advertised this Buffy episode first-run (yes, I'm old), but it was so well done and moving! I'm hoping SNW can also pull it off.
