Review: SCHMIGADOON at Kennedy Center
by Elliot Lanes - February 04, 2025

The first season was more of the Rodgers and Hammerstein classic variety of musical while season two had more of a Chicago/Pippin vibe. For whatever reason, the third season was written but Apple TV elected not to go into production with it.
