It's been years since I had so much fun with a show. Schmigadoon is so smart, so brilliantly choreographed, so exuberantly performed by some of the best Broadway stars, and so packed to the edges with musical theatre easter eggs I spend the week grinning about each episode.
Season 2, Schmicago, unbelievably raises the bar even higher with jaw-dropping riffs on Cabaret and Chicago, Sweeney Todd and Annie, Godspell, Pippin and Jesus Christ Superstar among others. The parody songs are perfection. The cast dazzles: interviews with them suggest they were having the time of their lives in this "fantastical farrago" of highlights of the genre.
