The Hindu
The six-episode series, helmed by comedian and actor Keegan-Michael Key and SNL favourite Cecily Strong, will premiere July 16 on Apple TV+
Imagine finding yourself stuck in a 1940s musical. Song, drama and endless twirls take over as you flit through a colourful, yet dramatic and often emotional narrative. This is the unusual predicament that the protagonists of a new Apple TV+ series are met with. Schmigadoon!, the platform’s latest offering, is a six-episode musical series that parodies iconic Golden Age musicals, helmed by comedian and actor Keegan-Michael Key and SNL favourite Cecily Strong. They play a couple who, while on a hike to reinvigorate their relationship, get lost in the magical town of Schmigadoon that is stuck in a 1940s musical. There is no escape until they find ‘true love’. . The recently-released trailer, characterised by the protagonists’ unmissable comic timing, screams all things happy, with generous servings of music and movement. Apart from Cecily and Keegan, the series also boasts of a cast with a sizable experience in Broadway and musical theatre in specific. Among these names are Dove Cameron and Aaron Tveit, who talk to MetroPlus ahead of the show’s premiere on July 16.
