Overview
- Schmigadoon!, which opened Monday at the Nederlander Theatre, is booked through September 6.
- It adapts season one of the Apple TV+ series with book, music, and lyrics by creator Cinco Paul, keeping most songs and dialogue while adding a few new numbers for a 2-hour-30-minute run time.
- Alex Brightman and Sara Chase lead the cast, Ana Gasteyer draws raves for the showstopper “Tribulation,” and Christopher Gattelli directs and choreographs with bright designs by Scott Pask and Linda Cho.
- Variety hails a giddy love letter to musical theater with high-energy dance and candy-colored design, while TheWrap, amNewYork, and the New York Post argue the TV-born parody feels thin and episodic on stage.
- Tickets list at $59–$299, with a $45 digital lottery and $40 rush, as the production tests whether small-screen musical satire can sustain a full-length Broadway run.
