i love musicals, i was raised as a musical theatre performer, and i still think i would perhaps perish if i found myself trapped in schmigadoon. VERY happy to witness it happen to other people, though! 🎶 schmigadoon, schmigadoon … 🎭 show mentioned: Schmigadoon! @schmigadoon 📍location: Nederlander Theatre, NYC about the show: Welcome to Schmigadoon—the magical town where every day is a musical. Everybody has a song for everything, the corn is as high as an elephant’s eye, and the only bridge out of town leads nowhere. When one couple accidentally wanders in, they discover the only way to escape is by finding true love—which may or may not be with each other. From Saturday Night Live’s Lorne Michaels and based on the award-winning Apple Original series from Universal Television, this brand-new comedy trapped inside a big Broadway musical is directed by Tony Award winner Christopher Gattelli (Newsies, Death Becomes Her) with a book and Emmy Award-winning score by Cinco Paul (Despicable Me, The Secret Life of Pets). Warning: You can never leave … without a smile. #schmigadoon #broadwaymusical #musicaltheatre #nyctheatre #nycinfluencer @theartsinsider
