“Since we first set out to bring Schmigadoon! to the stage, our goal has always been to create a production that could be enjoyed on Broadway and beyond,” said the producers of Schmigadoon!. “Christopher Gattelli and his incredible team of designers have built this show with craft and care in a way that will allow communities across all 50 states to experience the exact same joy, scale, and theatrical magic audiences are currently embracing on 41st Street. We’re also thrilled to place the show in the hands of theater groups nationwide through our licensing partnership with TRW, ensuring that Schmigadoon! can continue bringing people together through the joy of live theater for decades to come.”
