The starry cast includes Cecily Strong, Keegan Michael-Key, Alan Cumming, Kristin Chenoweth, Aaron Tveit, Dove Cameron, Ariana DeBose, Fred Armisen, Jaime Camil, Jane Krakowski, and Ann Harada.
“There’s a whole tone to the show, which is both real, but very theatrical,” director Barry Sonnenfeld said during the TCA panel for the series back in February, in reference to casting multitalented song-and-dance actors.
Tveit plays the town’s bad boy, who is trying to woo Melissa, while Cameron plays a farmer’s daughter smitten with Josh.
From Broadway Video and Universal Television, “Schmigadoon!” is co-created by Cinco Paul and Ken Daurio, who were the screenwriters of “Despicable Me.” Paul is serving as showrunner, in addition to writing all of the original music for the series.
