Schmigadoon! Goes Broadway, Keeps Its Inside Jokes (But Questions Its Ambition)

Schmigadoon! Goes Broadway, Keeps Its Inside Jokes (But Questions Its Ambition)

On Broadway’s Nederlander Theatre, Schmigadoon! moves from Apple TV+ to live stage with exuberant choreography and pastiche-filled bravado, delivering a technically polished homage to Rodgers and Hammerstein-era musicals. But despite strong craft and a gleeful score, the transition from screen to stage exposes a tension: the episodic book and inside jokes threaten momentum and Melissa’s defined 'I want' arc, leaving Brightman and Chase to anchor a show that’s more affectionately clever than emotionally bold. The production gleams with nostalgia and large-scale numbers, yet sidesteps the darker, messier notes of the era, opting to please rather than challenge. In short, Schmigadoon! is entertaining and well-made, but it invites reflection on whether Broadway should aim for more than glossy nostalgia.

Broadway’s Moulin Rouge! to Close After Seven-Year Run

Moulin Rouge! The Musical will close on Broadway after seven years, with its final performance on July 26 at the Al Hirschfeld Theatre, after logging 2,265 regular performances and 24 previews. The show—an adaptation of Baz Luhrmann’s film that won 10 Tony Awards—became a costly production due to music rights and elaborate sets, but it recouped its investment in late 2022. Opened in 2019, was interrupted by the pandemic, and reopened in 2021; producers hinted at more announcements before the curtain falls.
