Schmigadoon! season 2 takes Melissa, Josh, and viewers from the Golden Age musicals of the 40s and 50s to the darker musicals of the 60s and 70s that are parodied throughout. When Schmigadoon! was renewed for season 2, it was with the twist of a new setting and characters. While the core Schmigadoon! cast remained the same, with the exception of one actor who didn’t return from season 1, the Schmigadoon residents took on different roles to reflect the time period. As Schmigadoon! season 2 introduced viewers to the world of Schmicago, many musicals were parodied through songs, storylines, and characters.

Schmigadoon! season 1 focused on the musicals of the 40s and 50s, drawing its title and initial plot from Brigadoon, the 1947 Lerner and Loewe musical about a couple who stumbles upon a mysterious village that only appears for one day every 100 years. Schmigadoon! season 1’s musical numbers, characters, and plot also drew from musicals like The Music Man,...

It's over and done, but aren't you glad it happened?

On Schmigadoon! Season 2 Episode 6, Josh and Melissa get their Finale Ultimo, which turns out to be a "Happy Beginning."

The singular sensation Ariana DeBose is back, opening up the episode with a fabulous tribute to 1981's R&b musical Dreamgirls.

DeBose hasn't been featured as prominently in Schmigadoon! Season 2 as she was in Schmigadoon! Season 1, likely due to her career taking off after her Oscar win -- but this is a beautiful way to showcase her doing what she does best.

DeBose delivers dramatic, dynamic vocals with elegance and glamor. The number sets the tone for the rest of the episode perfectly.

Once again, Cecily Strong proves what a marvelous actor she is. We know there will be a happy end, but her commitment to the proceedings is admirable. Patrick Page's Kratt somehow remains both dapper and dastardly. His evil knows no bounds!

"Schmigadoon," Apple TV+'s musical series that parodies iconic stage productions of the past, is back for season two - but don't expect the Golden Age musical numbers from season one. Season two - which the show renames "Schmicago" - turns its attention to the darker and sexier musicals of the 1960s and 1970s. Those productions - like the reference for the new title, "Chicago" - feature sex, murder, trauma, and war, and often don't end happily. In the series, Melissa (Cecily Strong) warns Josh (Keegan-Michael Key) that she's not as familiar with the shows of this era, so if that's you, too, we've got you covered. These are the biggest musical references for "Schmigadoon" season 2, aka "Schmicago."

"Pippin" in "Schmigadoon" Season 2

The very first song of the series, "Welcome to Schmicago," is a parody of "Magic to Do" from the 1972 musical "Pippin," and the choreography is very similar,...
