Schmigadoon!
A loving send-up of the musical’s golden age hits all the right notes
Fridays, Apple TV+
LOVE MUSICALS? HATE them? Schmigadoon! hears you.
Though obviously aimed at those with an affinity for perky song-and-dance parodies, this jubilant and wonderfully clever six-part series also empathizes with a malcontent like Josh (Keegan-Michael Key), a spiritually tone-deaf surgeon. He’s horrified to have stumbled into the magical title land—a nod to —while on a camping trip to heal his relationship with fellow doctor Melissa (’s Cecily Strong).
