Supernatural will bring back the Winchester Gospel for the 200th episode, but this time Chuck Shurley's words will have a thespian spin.

Demon Dean A 'Womanizing Party Animal' On 'Supernatural', More Than Crowley Can Handle

Instead of reading a real-time dramatization of their lives, Sam (Jared Padalecki) and Dean (Jensen Ackles) will have to sit through an entire play culled from Shurley's (aka Caver Edlund) popular Supernatural novels. When something at the theater begins to go bump in the night, the real Winchester brothers will have to step in to save the day.

"I haven't had the chance to read it yet but I've heard it's almost similar to our "The Real Ghostbusters" episode. We're not at a convention but we're at a place where they're doing a play based on the Chuck Shurley books," Padalecki explained to Zap2It. "So not only are these books based on our lives, now people are doing a play based on these books, and someone is haunting it, so we go and try to investigate what's going on at this play, based on the books about our lives."

Very meta, indeed.

Executive producer Jeremy Carver recently revealed that the episode will have a musical quality, but it doesn't look like the hunters will be exercising their vocal cords. While Padalecki and Ackles have no difficulty singing in real life, Dean and Sam are canonically tonally challenged.
