Josie is officially doing her thing back at La Bonne Nuit! In this exclusive Riverdale preview, the town’s biggest star returns to Veronica’s speakeasy for a sensual performance of “Sooner or Later (I Always Get My Man)” in the episode called “The Red Dahlia.”
The Oscar-winning Stephen Sondheim song was originally sung by Madonna for her album I’m Breathless, featuring songs from and inspired by Warren Beatty’s Dick Tracy movie. Madonna played Breathless Mahoney in the film. (The episode, appropriately, pays homage to Dick Tracy as Jughead and Betty mirror the police detective’s sleuthing ways to try to make sense of all the deaths plaguing their town.)
This tune is steeped in history. Madonna gave a seductive Marilyn Monroe-esque performance at the 1991 Academy Awards, the same night Michael Jackson, for better or for worse, became her “best date ever.” In 2017, Kourtney and Kim Kardashian recreated the duo’s vibefrom that night.
With all that in mind, check out Josie’s performance below.
