The Apple TV+ series Schmigadoon! is a fabulous send-up of old-school iconic musicals. The musical comedy stars Cecily Strong and Keegan-Michael Key as a couple on a backpacking trip designed to reinvigorate their relationship. They discover a magical town stuck in a parody of studio musicals from the 1940s–and realize they can’t leave until they find “true love.” Season one played into the classic era of musicals, channeling the wholesome, if often old-fashioned, plot lines of shows such as The Music Man, Carousel, Brigadoon, and The Sound of Music. In season two, the couple is back, searching to rediscover the magical town, but the times have changed, and it’s now Schmicago. The town has turned gritty, and the tropes have shifted to the jazzy musicals of the 1960s and ’70s, like Chicago, Hair, Sweeney Todd, and Cabaret, all with a splash of Bob Fosse. A bevy of big-name Broadway, comedy, music talent returns to populate Schmigadoon, including Kristen Chenoweth, Aaron Tveit, Ariana DeBose, Alan Cumming, Dove Cameron, Jaime Camil, and Patrick Page.
