Rachel Bloom as Rebecca in the CW’s “Crazy Ex-Girlfriend” Photo: Scott Everett White/The CW Hold onto your pretzels, “Crazy Ex-Girlfriend” fans, because Rachel Bloom continues to be the gift that keeps on giving.
Bloom, the lead actor and creator of the CW musical series, released three new musical antidotes for those still mourning the loss of the show, which bid its farewell April 5.
“Musical Theater Tribe: I don’t know how or why they let me do this,” Bloom wrote on Twitter Aug. 8 before releasing free downloads of the “C.E.G.” sheet music.

Bloom and co-writer Adam Schlesinger wrote more than 150 songs for the show; more than 40 are available on sheet music.
In addition to the free downloads, Bloom released a music video on Aug. 7 of the song “I’m So Happy 4 U,” a cut number from Episode 5 of Season 4.
In the song, Rebecca is reconciling with the fact that her best friends Heather (Vella Lovell) and Valencia (Gabrielle Ruiz) are moving away. The Katy Perry-esque pop tune was written by Bloom, Jack Dolgen and Schlesinger.
Dayenu (it would have been enough) for Bloom to give us free sheet music along with a never-seen music video but no, she released one more present for us on Aug. 7: the complete Season 4 album available on Spotify, Apple Music, Pandora and Soundcloud.
“Hello [new “C.E.G.” goodies, it’s], Nice to Meet You.”
All 4 seasons of “Crazy Ex-Girlfriend” are available to stream on Netflix, The CW and Amazon Prime Video.
