“#Roush Review: Sing Along With ‘Schmigadoon!’<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

Love musicals? Hate them? Schmigadoon!<\/i> hears you.<\/p>\n

Though obviously aimed at those with an affinity for perky song-and-dance parodies, this jubilant and wonderfully clever six-part series<\/a> for App<\/a>le TV+ also empathizes with a malcontent like Josh (Keegan-Michael Key), a spiritually tone-deaf surgeon. He\u2019s horrified to have stumbled into the magical title land\u2014a nod to Brigadoon<\/i>\u2014while on a camping trip<\/a> to heal his relationship with fellow doctor Melissa (Saturday Night Live<\/i>\u2019s Cecily Strong). They\u2019re instantly greeted with an upbeat production number that\u2019s like \u201cOklahoma!\u201d on helium, as the gleeful residents describe a village \u201cwhere it\u2019s warm and safe as a new cocoon, and our hearts all glow like a harvest moon.\u201d<\/p>\n

Apple TV+<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Melissa, earlier seen in bed watching Astaire and Rogers, feels at home amid the pastiche, but not Josh. \u201cCharming? It\u2019s Wicker Man<\/i>!\u201d he shudders, begging not to be forced to interact with the \u201cperformers.\u201d The marquee-worthy cast includes Tony winners Alan Cumming as Aloysius Menlove, the mayor with a not-so-closeted secret, and Kristin Chenoweth as the kindly pastor\u2019s (Fred Armisen) rigid wife Mildred Layton, a pious town scold cut from The Music Man<\/i> cloth. (She gets to deliver the spoof on \u201cYou\u2019ve got trouble,\u201d and yes, she nails it.)<\/p>\n

They\u2019re all having a ball as they send up Rodgers and Hammerstein classics \u2014 Aaron Tveit of Broadway\u2019s Moulin Rouge!<\/i> woos Melissa as the spitting (and hoofing) image of Carousel<\/i>\u2019s bad-boy carnival barker \u2014 with echoes of Irving Berlin, the Gershwins, and Cole Porter in the pitch-perfect score by series cocreator Cinco Paul. Even a show-tune buff might cringe at an entire number devoted to the local delicacy of \u201cCorn Puddin\u2019,\u201d but it\u2019s really funny.<\/p>\n

While honoring the past in this oasis of pinafores, parasols, and painted backdrops, Paul\u2019s lyrics also deliver a subversive sting, winking at and commenting on the genre\u2019s social<\/a>ly backward and sexist attitudes. Melissa is on to something when she compares the local ritual of a picnic-basket auction to men \u201cbidding on women like livestock.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to the rules of this fractured fable, described by leprechaun Martin Short in a cameo, Melissa and Josh must remain in Schmigadoon until they rediscover true love. Their quest is complicated when Josh bonds with an independent-minded schoolmarm (Ariana DeBose as Schmigadoon<\/em>\u2018s answer to Marian the Librarian) and Melissa\u2019s involvement in a love triangle with a widowed doctor (Jane the Virgin<\/i>\u2019s Jaime Camil in a nod to South Pacific<\/em>\u2018s Emile deBecque) and a snooty Countess (Jane Krakowski in rare form, taking on The Sound of Music<\/em>\u2018s imperious Baroness).<\/p>\n

A hoot and a hymn to a bygone tradition, Schmigadoon!<\/i> is such a delight I never wanted to leave. If I have any complaint, it\u2019s that Apple might have reconsidered its usual tendency of dropping episodes weekly, a policy which I general<\/a>ly applaud. After watching the first two episodes this week, you may want to devour them all, and I can attest that it\u2019s a blissful binge. Waiting a week for the next dose of musical merriment is nothing to sing about.<\/p>\n

Schmigadoon!<\/em>, Series Premiere, Friday, July 16, Apple TV+<\/b><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
