One of Streaming’s Most Whimsical Shows Is Headed to Broadway

If you’re not already familiar, here’s the quirky (and charmingly chaotic) premise. New York doctors Josh and Melissa head out on a couple’s backpacking retreat to reignite the spark in their relationship, only to stumble upon Schmigadoon, a magical town where everyone lives inside a full-blown Golden Age musical. There’s singing. There’s dancing. There’s no way out, unless they find true love (which may or may not be with each other).

The original Apple TV+ series premiered in July 2021 and starred Cecily Strong and Keegan-Michael Key in the lead roles. The all-star ensemble cast also included Dove Cameron, Kristin Chenoweth, Alan Cumming, Ariana DeBose, Martin Short, Aaron Tveit, Jane Krakowski and Tituss Burgess.

While casting for the Broadway production hasn’t been announced just yet, Deadline reports it will be produced by Lorne Michaels (yes, that Lorne Michaels of SNL fame) and No Guarantees Productions.
