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

how was your BookCon experience? there were definitely highs & lows for me. 👗💄: - black dress is from Meadows, rented from Nuuly - orange dress is from Anthropologie, rened from Nuuly - (also if you have a question about my makeup or something i’m wearing, most of it is curated in my shopmy!) About BookCon: 🗓️ BookCon dates: April 18 & 19, 2026 📍location: Javits Center, NYC BookCon is a two-day event where storytelling and pop culture collide. Step into a weekend where stories come alive and fantasy meets reality. Where meeting your favorite author is just the beginning of your adventure. From intimate author chats and immersive experiences to book swaps that feel like treasure hunts, we’re building an event for lovers of storytelling in all its forms. Consider this your official permission slip to geek out about that one specific paragraph on page 247 that made you throw the book across the room (in the best way possible). Whether you’re a longtime BookTube, Bookstagram, or BookTok creator or someone who quietly devours three books a week in your favorite reading nook, your chapter in this story is essential. #bookcon #bookcon2026 #nycinfluencer #nycevents #bookevents
