Schmigadoon!'s clever inside-theater jokes may not be for everyone, but there's no denying the joy of seeing this talented ensemble sing (and dance!) their hearts out.

When it comes to anything musical, it comes down to style, and regarding "Schmigadoon! Season 1", I had to be dragged to the proverbial table. But, once I was served with the first episode I was hooked. The writing and composition is second to none, combined with the comedic performances of the cast fronted by Strong and Key, you'll be led on a truly fantastic episodic musical adventure!

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

When I watched this series at the beginning, I was so surprised. I've never thought that I'd experience such a lovely musical like this. When it was ended, I wished the new season will come soon.

A great premise for a show, Glee for adults, and this from someone who doesn't care for musicals. I was drawn in from the first to last episode, superbly written, directed and performed. A joyous watch

This show was everything I hoped it would be! The music and choreography were spectacular; the humor was solid and the main characters were rich and well-developed.

An original and uplifting parody of musicals that even at 3 hours total viewing time still manages to be pretty repetative.

SO. FREAKING. GOOD. If you love theater, musicals, and parodies this is the show for you! Schmigadoon is awesome! I love the cast, the creative songs like Corn Puddin', the costumes, the set, truly great! I need there to be a season three where they become overwhelmed as new parents and run away to Schmigadoon again 🤣

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Schmigadoon! coasts on smug finger-wagging. Still, it does so while wringing thrills out of the talents of modern musical icons like Kristin Chenoweth, Alan Cumming, and Jane Krakowski.

Rated: 6/10

The Ringer

What makes a musical work for the musical-averse? A healthy dose of skepticism toward the very genre it's operating within.

Daily Telegraph (UK)

Schmigadoon! also takes a simplistic approach to addressing people's problems... But, after a barren year for Broadway and the West End, this good-hearted show is a welcome musical reprise.

Rated: 3/5

Women's Voices for Change

Regardless of where you land on the “Musicals, pro or con?” debate, Schmigadoon! is worth your time. The only people who won’t laugh at or love it are those who are indifferent to musicals. (And, can anyone truly be indifferent to musicals?)

Rated: 9.5/10

A terrific cast delivers an uneven, but fun, comic parody of musicals.
