The new musical Schmigadoon! will come to Broadway this spring, beginning New York performances at the Nederlander Theatre on April 4 ahead of an April 20 opening night.

Adapted from season 1 of Paul and Ken Daurio's same-named Apple TV+ series, Schmigadoon! follows a pair of troubled spouses who get lost while hiking and end up inside Schmigadoon, a town that’s a Golden Age musical come to life. Soon, the couple discover the only way to escape the town and its always-singing residents is to embrace their quirky world — and perhaps change it for the better along the way.

Tony Award winner Christopher Gattelli (Death Becomes Her, Newsies) directs and choreographs Schmigadoon!, which is written by Emmy winner and Grammy nominee Cinco Paul (who penned the songs for the TV series).

Casting for the musical has yet to be announced. Schmigadoon! premiered at the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C., in January 2025, and the cast included Tony nominee Alex Brightman as Josh Skinner, Sara Chase as Melissa Gimble, Emmy winner and Tony nominee Kevin Del Aguila as the Reverend Layton, Ann Harada reprising her role from the TV series as Florence Menlove, McKenzie Kurtz as Betsy McDonough, Isabelle McCalla as Emma Tate, Javier Muñoz as Doc Lopez, Tony nominee Brad Oscar as Mayor Menlove, Tony nominee Emily Skinner as Mildred Layton, and Ryan Vasquez as Danny Bailey.
