Schmigadoon! season 2 moves up a couple of decades to become Schmicago, with darker tunes and musical productions from the 1960s to the 1980s reflected. The cast is basically the same, but many actors have new parts in the new and magical world of Schmicago.
West Side Story reached streamers HBO Max and Disney+, which was my cue to watch it! Finally! I watched the original film version of West Side Story several times in theaters when Rita Moreno and I were both young women. I expect to see this 2021 version more than once as well. I do appreciate a musical.
Schmigadoon! is about two modern-day New York City doctors who wander into a real life musical they can’t escape. They bring their skepticism and 21st Century sensibility into a place where the only hope of getting out is to surrender to the music and find true love. The 6 episode series is on Apple TV+.
