Philip Mutz — Theater Critic

New York City theater is on fire right now. Whether we're talking about Broadway offerings like the fabulous new revival of The Rocky Horror Show or the award-winning Just in Time, or lesser-known (but equally as good) Off-Broadway options like Blood/Love or Masquerade, live theater is having a moment. Rising to the top of this season's stellar offerings? The incredible new vampire musical The Lost Boys from director Michael Arden.

Without a doubt, Schmigadoon was one of the most delightful musicals I’ve seen. And even though I was familiar with the songs and the jokes before going in (thanks to the TV show), it was still a refreshing escape.

The new musical is a lot of fun, with Bundy and Lindsay delivering laugh after laugh. Their chemistry as the long-time besties is palpable. In particular, Bundy steals the show as she replicates Sorvino’s famous lower voice and accent, while still making the character her own. Laura Bell Bundy is truly impressive as she brings comedy one minute and tears the next. Her physicality (see: her “businesswoman walk”) is especially entertaining.
