The hit Apple TV+ series leaps to the Broadway stage at the Nederlander Theatre. A loving, hilarious send-up of classic musicals.
Schmigadoon! brings the Emmy-winning Apple TV+ comedy to Broadway, delivering a sharp and affectionate send-up of classic musicals at the Nederlander Theatre. Created by Lorne Michaels of Saturday Night Live fame, this stage adaptation follows two New York doctors who stumble into a mysterious town where life operates like a Golden Age Broadway musical. Josh and Melissa, seeking to reignite their romance on a couples' retreat, find themselves trapped in Schmigadoon where everyone bursts into song and the only escape is finding true love.
The show features a book and score by Cinco Paul, who cleverly riffs on mid-century Broadway styles while keeping the storytelling contemporary and self-aware. With witty songs that nod to classics like Brigadoon and The Music Man, Alex Brightman and Sara Chase lead the cast through this theatrical adventure. Critics have praised it as "a love letter to Broadway's Golden Age," making it essential viewing for musical theatre fans and newcomers alike.
Schmigadoon! runs for 2 hours and 30 minutes with one interval, giving you plenty of time to absorb the clever musical parodies and choreography by Christopher Gattelli. The Nederlander Theatre provides an intimate setting with its traditional Broadway atmosphere, enhanced by Scott Pask's set design and Linda Cho's period-inspired costumes that perfectly capture the Golden Age aesthetic.
The production balances classic musical forms with contemporary humour, featuring popular songs like "Corn Puddin'," "With All of Your Heart," and "Tribulation." While adapted from the Apple TV+ series, the stage version stands completely on its own, requiring no prior knowledge of the show. If you're exploring more Broadway musicals during your New York visit, this limited engagement offers something genuinely different in the current theatrical landscape.
