And Gypsy is firmly golden age, arguably the final golden age musical. Logan: I think that was a horse in the hallway. Josh walks Melissa to the stage door of the Kratt Klub he hasn’t seen her perform yet and they aren’t leaving town until he does! She meets Madame Frau backstage (was that Caroline the Cow in the hallway?), who informs her that Jenny hasn’t shown up, so Melissa will take the matinee solo spot. Codwell is fattening up her orfans (sic), Dooley is sharpening his cleaver, Topher and Jenny (now hippiefied) are digging each other, the Tribe is feeling ignored, and Kratt is up to no good. Talaura: This format of a narrator telling us “last week in Schmicago” is very helpful. Josh and Melissa, unaware of that last part, are pretty sure they’ve achieved that happy ending they’re after. Miss Codwell and Dooley had a successful date, and now they’re over the moon that they can use Miss Codwell’s dreaded orphans as Dooley’s new meat supply. Things are getting physical between Topher and Jenny after Josh and Melissa set them up. The moment before: Love is in the air in Schmicago. Tituss Burgess in Schmigadoon! Courtesy of Apple TV+
Episodes follow weekly on Wednesdays, with our recap of the third and fourth episodes here and here.
Playbill is back to walk you through all of the references from every episode of Schmigadoon!'s second season, which debuted with a double episode drop April 5-get caught up with the recap of those episodes here.
Our dynamic duo is tasked with finding a happy ending, which could be a tall order when dealing with plots inspired by such shows as Sweeney Todd, Cabaret, and Jesus Christ Superstar. In season two, Josh and Melissa are trapped in Schmicago, inspired by the grittier and darker musicals of the mid-'60s and '70s. They are trapped there, inside a world of Golden Age musicals, and cannot escape until they find true love. On a couple’s retreat in the woods, they stumble upon the magical town of Schmigadoon as it appears from the fog (Like Brigadoon, get it?). Welcome to Schmicago, the fictional city at the center of the second season of Cinco Paul and Ken Daurio’s musical comedy TV series Schmigadoon! The first season, which premiered in the summer of 2022 on Apple TV+, followed a modern couple, Josh and Melissa (played by Keegan-Michael Keyand Cecily Strong), who have grown complacent in their relationship.
