That is not John in that picture. For one thing he is much taller than whomever that is.

Supergirl and The Flash to do a two part musical crossover episode in 2017 - http://tvline.com/2016/08/11/supergirl-the-flash-musical-episode-two-parter/
Does that mean a Max Mercury appearance? I really liked that arc.
I was just reading about that crossover. Was anyone really looking for a musical crossover?
I can't think of one time that a show did a musical episode or stuck a musical number into an episode where it was good.
I'm usually insulted, as a singer, (with very rare exceptions) by what is considered acceptable or "good" singing from the actors on top of the eye rolling moment every time a musical number starts.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Batman: The Brave and The Bold did the only good musical episodes I've ever seen. If Supergirl/Flash has the Music Meister from the Batman B&TB episode (maybe played by the voice of the cartoon version, Neil Patrick Harris), that might actually be spectacular. Otherwise, I don't see anything good coming from this, especially as a two parter.
Glee did a musical number good once.
Melissa and Grant are both from Glee, and there's probably a few people who followed them here from Glee.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer's "Once More With Feeling" was absolutely phenomenal.
Half the cast's from Broadway, and the other half's from Glee, so they'll probably be able to carry a tune
If this is true, my Glee Fandom will finally be complete.
Sure. There have been several times over the past year or two when I've seen people online say "Man, they have a lot of talented singers on these shows, they should do a musical." And since they're spread over different shows, there were naturally calls for a crossover to unite them. I wouldn't say it was a huge grassroots movement, and nobody started a petition as far as I know, but the idea was bouncing around out there for a while. Heck, io9 did a "They should do a musical crossover" post just yesterday, and then it was announced just under 24 hours later!
Then you should be glad to know that the whole reason this is being done is because so many of the cast members are accomplished singers. See the link above for a rundown of their musical credits and sample clips of their singing.

It's more of a question of if the producer can write a tune.
The thing about the musical episode is that its a two parter. The gimmick will probably feel old after one, how do you make 80 or so minutes of singing (ok, obviously they won't be singing every second, but its still a lot) seem interesting to an audience that might not give a crap about musicals?
If nothing else, I hope the music/songs are relevant to the episodes. Buffy's musical episode had songs that moved the story, and several sub plots, along. As opposed to Xena, which did one terrible Opera musical and one musical episode where the songs were literally pointless and completely disconnected to the story (they weren't even original songs, they just licensed some modernish songs and it ended up a confusing mess). Basically, I hope the Supergirl/Flash episodes are more Buffy's Once More With Feeling and less Xena's Lyre Lyre Hearts on Fire.
Honestly, I'm expecting it to just be a two part Glee episode with superheroes that I'll watch three minutes of then skip the rest, but maybe it will be tolerable (unlike Glee). I doubt it, since it took Joss Whedon to make the idea work in live action and the CW shows don't have anyone of his caliber, but I'm always willing to give Flash a chance, even when I'm pretty sure this is going to be completely terrible.

I enjoyed that episode but i don't think Sarah MIchelle Gellar was a good singer which hurt the episode a bit.
Was it too late to recast?
Sarah was fine. The great thing about setting it up the way it was was that the whole thing felt real and natural (well, for the Hellmouth), so a little underwhelming voice quality here and there actually made it feel more authentic and no less entertaining. The only person who's singing was really problematic (ie, bad enough to distract people) was Allison Hannigan, and they quite wisely kept her parts to an absolute minimum.
