Why Transparent is "transitioning" with a musical series finale

The Hollywood Reporter

Creator Jill Soloway says a musical was part of the original plan. "I’m in such a good mood because we were able to do something that I feel like is going to astonish and reward fans and was a way to take music and transform the family to be able to come together and have that kind of feeling of, in some ways, transition," says Soloway, adding: "The show isn’t necessarily ending, it’s transitioning — into a musical."
