Repetitive first act. Wonderful second act. Very talented cast.
"Some great numbers in opening act but the joke/gimmick, (regular couple in a musical comedy with the man hating musicals) was received very quickly and so after a while became repetitive while the book, the narrative was just treading water. I'd would have cut 10-15 minutes from the first Act. Some very clever lyrics throughout and an exceptionally talented cast from top to bottom. When the second act opens with the school tap dance number the whole piece starts to take off. Gone are most of the repetitive jokes ("oh no, that will cue another song" type thing) and instead the story takes over and one begins to lean in.

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.
