Video: Doug Besterman & Mike Morris React to Tony Win- 'It Doesn't Get Any Better'
Schmigadoon! is currently running at the Nederlander Theatre.
Earlier tonight at the 79th Annual Tony Awards, Doug Besterman and Mike Morris took home a Tony Award for Best Orchestrations for Schmigadoon! After leaving the stage at Radio City Music Hall, they checked in with BroadwayWorld's Richard Ridge to share their initial reaction!
"The music in Shmigadoon! is such a part of the storytelling," said Besterman. "Not that it's not in any musical, but in particular, the point of Shmigadoon only works if the music works. And so this really feels like everyone understood that. That's how it feels."
Schmigadoon! is based on the Apple Original series from Universal Television of the same name. New York doctors Josh and Melissa set out on a couples’ backpacking retreat to rekindle the flame, but instead find themselves in Schmigadoon, a magical town that’s a Golden Age musical come to life. The townspeople won’t stop singing, the bridge out leads nowhere, and the only way to escape is by finding true love—which may or may not be with each other. “Schmigadoon is a love letter to the Golden Age of movie musicals,” said producer Lorne Michaels. “It’s a little bit nostalgic and a lot of fun. We’re very excited to bring it to Broadway.”
