Schmigadoon! coasts on smug finger-wagging. Still, it does so while wringing thrills out of the talents of modern musical icons like Kristin Chenoweth, Alan Cumming, and Jane Krakowski. Go to Full Review Alison Herman The Ringer 07/23/2021
What makes a musical work for the musical-averse? A healthy dose of skepticism toward the very genre it's operating within. Go to Full Review Marianka Swain Daily Telegraph (UK) 07/22/2021
3/5
Schmigadoon! also takes a simplistic approach to addressing people's problems... But, after a barren year for Broadway and the West End, this good-hearted show is a welcome musical reprise. Go to Full Review Michael Cook Geek Vibes Nation Jul 17
4.5/5
A true love letter to the movie musicals of yesteryear. It reexamines the tropes and constraints of that genre, twists them a bit, and turns them into something that’s both modern and timeless. It’s more homage than parody and is endlessly fun. Go to Full Review Bill Brioux Brioux.tv 09/20/2022
A terrific, and overdue, showcase for Cicely Strong. Go to Full Review Alexandra MacAaron Women's Voices for Change 08/25/2022
9.5/10
Regardless of where you land on the “Musicals, pro or con?” debate, Schmigadoon! is worth your time. The only people who won’t laugh at or love it are those who are indifferent to musicals. (And, can anyone truly be indifferent to musicals?) Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Esra Y 01/13/2025 Delightful from beginning to end! I am sad they cancelled such a beautiful show and just when musicals become mainstream again. See more Dieu Le Veut K 11/27/2024 This series is unlike any other. It is one of those show that has reimagined this genre and made it appealing to different spectators. It is hilarious, entertaining, and enchanting. The cinematography is well crafted, the sets designed to showcase the imagination of its creators, and the costumes smartly selected to elevate distinctive aspects of the characters. The universe is immersive, the narrative compelling, and the choreography captivating and very inspired. I'd recommend "Schmigadoon" to anyone. It is a astonishing show, a must-see series, and a unique comedy. See more Will B @Butkus 12/06/2023 A great premise for a show, Glee for adults, and this from someone who doesn't care for musicals. I was drawn in from the first to last episode, superbly written, directed and performed. A joyous watch See more Joy H 07/14/2023 This show was everything I hoped it would be! The music and choreography were spectacular; the humor was solid and the main characters were rich and well-developed. See more Gareth v @geewah 06/23/2023 An original and uplifting parody of musicals that even at 3 hours total viewing time still manages to be pretty repetative. See more Peter L 04/07/2023 Anyone who likes musicals and great entertainment will be captivated by this brilliantly conceived and executed show. Nothing has brought me more pleasure than the wonderfully performed silliness of Schmicago and of Schmigadoon before that. Worth getting Apple TV+ just to see this sublime show. In a wicked world, here is something to cheer you up. Yes, there are lots of references to musicals you may not have seen, but it's great fun without understanding all of them. Season One was joyous, season two is darker - but just as funny. Cheer yourself up - watch it! See more Read all reviews
