Calling all musical theater fans! The beloved Apple TV+ series Schmigadoon! has made its way to the Kennedy Center’s stage, bringing its signature blend of snark and adoration for classic Broadway tunes. If you’re into witty spoofs and toe-tapping numbers, this is one show you won’t want to miss.
The series, which originally aired in 2021, follows a modern-day couple, Josh and Melissa, who find themselves stuck in a whimsical world inspired by iconic 1940s and ’50s musicals like The Music Man, Carousel, and Oklahoma!. Now, the first season has been condensed into a two-act stage production by writer Cinco Paul, offering fans a fresh way to experience the story.
While the characters of Josh and Melissa (played by Alex Brightman and Sara Chase) might feel a bit one-dimensional, the real star of the show is its homage to the golden age of Broadway. From the catchy melodies to the playful nods to classics, Schmigadoon! captures the essence of why these musicals remain timeless.
Whether you’re a die-hard fan of the original series or completely new to the world of Schmigadoon!, the Kennedy Center’s production promises a delightful mix of humor, nostalgia, and show-stopping performances. Catch it before the final curtain falls this Sunday!
