Us, we just like to get spanked and whipped. UNIDENTIFIED GROUP: (As characters, singing) Does that just blow your mind? Other girls get thanked and tipped.
UNIDENTIFIED ACTOR #1: (As character, singing) I'm into boys and girls. UNIDENTIFIED GROUP: (As characters, singing) Do we scare you? Are you too refined? I mean, I've literally seen every season of "Drag Race," so. There's a man, and he's wearing a dress.ĬECILY STRONG: (As Melissa Gimble) Yeah. UNIDENTIFIED GROUP: (As characters, singing) Do we shock you, make you ill at ease? Do we offend your tender sensibilities? There's no norm we won't transgress. And the musicals "Hair" and "Godspell" also are represented, along with "Jesus Christ Superstar" and "Dreamgirls." And so is "Sweet Charity," when Melissa and Josh, seated at a table in the nightclub, watch and comment upon the onstage dancers, whose attitude and Bob Fosse choreography may have been provocative 60 years ago but not so much now. Jane Krakowski takes on the slick lawyer role from "Chicago" but with a gender switch that allows for a little Roxie Hart as well. But this time the supporting players from last season get to return as entirely new characters, like the ensemble cast members of "American Horror Story" get to do in that anthology series.ĭove Cameron for Season 2 of "Schmigadoon!" plays a Sally Bowles kind of vamp from "Cabaret," while Alan Cumming, who played the Emcee in the revival of that Broadway musical, instead takes on the role of a murderous demon butcher, echoing Sweeney Todd. Once again, this gives Cinco Paul and company the chance to salute or parody some very familiar musical theater classics. Last season echoed the setting, feeling and music of classic midcentury musicals, like "Oklahoma!" and, of course, "Brigadoon." For Season 2, the tone is inspired by musicals of the '60s and '70s, and it's a lot darker. As in Season 1, Cecily Strong and Keegan-Michael Key star as Melissa and Josh, a modern couple who find themselves transported to a mythical musical land in which everyone tends to break into song and dance. We've just heard from songwriter Cinco Paul about collaborating on the first season of "Schmigadoon!" Next Wednesday, "Schmigadoon!" returns on Apple TV+ with the first two episodes of a new six-part second season.
