Kristy Puchko IGN Movies 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 Aug 16, 2021 Full Review Alison Herman The Ringer What makes a musical work for the musical-averse? A healthy dose of skepticism toward the very genre it's operating within. Jul 23, 2021 Full Review Marianka Swain 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 Jul 22, 2021 Full Review Bill Brioux Brioux.tv A terrific, and overdue, showcase for Cicely Strong. Sep 20, 2022 Full Review Alexandra MacAaron 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 Aug 25, 2022 Full Review Kristi Turnquist Oregonian A terrific cast delivers an uneven, but fun, comic parody of musicals. Apr 1, 2022 Full Review Read all reviews

Esra Y Delightful from beginning to end! I am sad they cancelled such a beautiful show and just when musicals become mainstream again. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/13/25 Full Review Dieu Le Veut K This series is unlike any other. It is one of those show that has reimagined this genre and made it appealing to different spectators. It is hilarious, entertaining, and enchanting. The cinematography is well crafted, the sets designed to showcase the imagination of its creators, and the costumes smartly selected to elevate distinctive aspects of the characters. The universe is immersive, the narrative compelling, and the choreography captivating and very inspired. I'd recommend "Schmigadoon" to anyone. It is a astonishing show, a must-see series, and a unique comedy. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/27/24 Full Review OperationBOAR 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 01/15/24 Full Review Kiang S 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. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/24/23 Full Review Will B 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 Rated 5 out of 5 stars 12/06/23 Full Review Joy H 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. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 07/14/23 Full Review Read all reviews
