There is no escaping Schmigadoon! The new musical is getting ready to begin performances (April 4) at the Nederlander Theatre, where it is set to open on April 20. Check out photos of the new Broadway marquee here!
Schmigadoon! stars Alex Brightman and Sara Chase as Josh Skinner and Melissa Gimble, a couple who accidentally wanders into Schmigadoon – the magical town where every day is a musical. Everybody has a song for everything, the corn is as high as an elephant’s eye, and the only bridge out of town leads nowhere. Melissa and Josh soon discover the only way to escape is by finding true love—which may or may not be with each other.
