Critic Reviews of Schmigadoon!

"Gattelli excels at big ensemble numbers like Corn Puddin'' and Cross That Bridge.' But even more satisfying is his ability to showcase triple-threat performers who can segue from acting to singing to dancing and back again. It's exciting to watch McCalla further explore her versatility, and Melissa and Danny's duet Enjoy the Ride' is a giddy pleasure, complete with a playful flourish that feels like the cherry on an already delicious sundae." - The New York Times

"The wholesome townsfolk of Schmigadoon have brought their corny charm to Broadway with a generous helping of song and dance. A delightfully pointless musical number like Corn Puddin'' captures the spirit perfectly, and while the premise overwhelms its modern leads, audiences can sit back and enjoy what the town has to offer." - Time Out New York

"While some may dismiss it as frivolous, Schmigadoon! is deeply rich in humanity, charm, and musical theatre heritage. Do yourself a favor and get trapped in Schmigadoon - it's exactly the kind of escape audiences need." - Theatrely

"The stage cast may differ from the series, but the ensemble is impeccable, supported by Gattelli's nimbly paced direction and splashy, old-school choreography. Even as it leans into parody, it celebrates the musicals it evokes with spirited conviction - proof that parody can be the sincerest form of flattery." - The Wall Street Journal

"The idea of a portal to escape reality is central to the show's appeal. It's so inviting that even skeptics might wonder why they'd ever want to leave." - Variety

"The Broadway version remains faithful to the original, retaining its songs, characters, and charm. While its transfer may have felt inevitable, it's hard not to be glad it made the journey to the stage." - New York Theater

"Whether dream or nightmare, Schmigadoon sweeps its characters - and audience - into its world. It's impossible not to get swept up in the joy and comedy, as Melissa and Josh fully embrace the experience." - New York Theatre Guide

"Rooted in Golden Age traditions, Schmigadoon! taps into themes of hope and resilience. **It's a wonderful entertainment that reminds us of the promise of something better - **and we need it, now more than ever." - New York Stage Review

"There may be a paucity of Knicks fans at the Nederlander Theatre, which is probably for the best. Schmigadoon! is a show by and for musical mavens - and they should climb any mountain, never walk alone, and rock the boat (without sitting down) to get themselves a seat." - Culture Sauce

"As the second half leaps to a close, Schmigadoon!' shifts gears, but the touching McCalla makes it work with a performance full of intellect and nuance. And Ayaan Diop steals the show in select performances as Carson." - New York Post

"A loving, winking, unabashedly cheesy valentine to Golden Age musicals, Schmigadoon! cherry-picks plotlines, melodies, and archetypes from Broadway classics like Oklahoma!, Carousel, The Music Man, and Brigadoon, creating a playful and affectionate homage to the genre." - Entertainment Weekly

"Still, some minor quibbles aside, I had a magically delicious time at Schmigadoon.' Hopefully, so will you!" - Cititour
