ehhhhhh
"The ensemble is phenomenal. The dancing is outstanding, and the cast is so strong that they're often more entertaining than the principals. Betty, however, nearly sank the show for me. The audience around me seemed to adore her, but she felt like Cheyenne from Superstore after twelve energy drinks: loud, frantic, and missing the charm that makes Cheyenne funny. The two leads have absolutely gorgeous voices, which makes it all the more baffling that they each get only one real chance to show them off. I kept waiting for another big number that never came. As someone who loves Broadway, I caught nearly all of the musical theater references. The problem wasn't that they went over my head. It was that most of them didn't strike me as particularly clever. They felt more like a checklist of Broadway in jokes than jokes with actual punchlines. The score is enjoyable enough, but many of the songs seem to exist simply because it's time for another song. I often found myself thinking, "That sounded nice, but why did we just sing that?" The biggest miss for me, though, was the humor. There are constant sexual puns, double entendres, and wink at the audience jokes. The crowd around me was laughing, so clearly I'm in the minority, but I mostly sat there waiting for something genuinely witty. It never really came. I didn't dislike the show. I admired the performers far more than the material they were given. If you're looking for energetic dancing, excellent singers, and a talented ensemble, you'll probably have a great time. If you're expecting razor sharp comedy or songs that propel the story, you may leave feeling a little underwhelmed, as I did."

About Schmigadoon!

Everybody needs an escape.

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.
