I met Max Clayton who plays Danny in the Broadway adaptation of Schmigadoon! last year, where he mentioned that the musical was still in the works. I think it’s crazy that the musical is now wrapping up its run, which appears to have been successful. My mom and I watched most of Schmigadoon! together which we went to great lengths to get. What she and I both really like about the series, apart from its wry wit and in your face gags about how goofy musical theater can often be is its reverence to classical music theater and Broadway's golden age. It makes fun of its more unsavory parts, but mostly serves as a celebration of all of the great art, discussion, and progress that that era caused and that we’ve made since then. I’m glad the show finally found its way to the stage in a full circle kind of way, and I’m even more glad that audiences have gotten to experience live renditions of “Corn Puddin’” and “I always always never get my Man”. I wish I could have seen the show during its run but I’ll keep my eye out for any way to see the live performance.
I followed the scenic artist for this show on Instagram and before reading this article I had no idea that this was the Broadway version of this show. Every set I’ve seen is awesome and I’ve loved following his journey. However, I had no idea that this was such a stacked cast, and that this show was going to be as fun and exciting from an audience standpoint as it is. I don’t really know much about the show, all i know is that is is really funny. Alex Brightman being on a cast automatically for me makes a show worth seeing. I really wish that I could see this, especially after following the scenic designer so closely and sharing that the cast is amazing. I think that it would especially be funny as it is more or less a parody of golden age musicals, something that I have in particular interest in because of it’s importance to theatre history
