**FREE** SCHMIGADOON! The Musical Q&A

Based on the Universal Television and Apple Original series, Schmigadoon! is a love letter to Broadway’s Golden Age. 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.
