As it turns out, the folks at Apple TV+ are also musical junkies and wholeheartedly agree with me. That, surely, can be the only explanation for their upcoming TV series, Schmigadoon! (and there’s a whole lot of pent-up Broadway energy brimming within that titular exclamation mark alone, right?).

So, what’s Schmigadoon! all about?

The comedy series starts off by treading somewhat familiar territory; Josh (Keegan-Michael Key) and Melissa (Cecily Strong) are struggling to find the joy in their increasingly stale relationship. And so, in a bid to rekindle the romance, the couple decide to go backpacking together.

It’s not long before the duo find themselves trapped in a perpetually cheery town. A perpetually cheery town where citizens dance and sing like they’re the ensemble of one of the big Golden Age musicals, no less (think Brigadoon, The Wizard Of Oz, and Meet Me In St. Louis).

Schmigadoon! – aka Apple TV+’s joyful new TV series – has made us so, so happy
