Now this makes me hope we can get season 3 and beyond. Would love to keep going with different eras of musicals until we hit modern day ones. I'm so excited for season 2, it's gonna be a fun one!
Random little tidbit: Martin Short was actually in the original production of Godspell, along with Gilda Radner, Eugene Levy, and more greats in Toronto. (Gilda Radner recounts the experience in her autobiography, which I read when I was nine because I'm that flavor of nerd). Sooo psyched for the show to start again...I've watched the first season an embarrassing number of times. Love your breakdowns and can't wait for more!
I was actually surprised to see Josh and Melissa back since I thought they might just rotate in another couple for the new era but I'm glad they are because I missed them also I'm SO HAPPY TO SEE THEM DOING CHICAGO and it sounds like they really are doing eras so we're going to see more seasons after!
I've already watched the trailer 4 times. Your wide eyed reaction once they entered Shmicago was very similar to mine! I am so unbelievably excited for this new season!!! I will admit it is a bit strange to me that they're casting Alan Cumming as a Sweeney Todd type and not something from Cabaret, but I trust this show to make it fabulous no matter what. Aaron Tveit's new look is priceless, Jane Krakowski as a Billy Flynn style lawyer is my everything, and Titus fits so perfectly into this series it feels like he's always been there. I cannot wait to finally see how this all plays out!
I think it's a blend. They're parodying the era as much as specific shows, so I don't think it's out there to have a reference to one show coming from a character from another.
I don’t think this is about that they can’t have a baby. … Isn’t she an obstetrician? I think it was showing that their life was becoming monotonous. (Hence her telling all her patients “this is the foot” over and over) I am also very excited for this!! It looks great.
I do have to wonder how (or if) they'll acknowledge that the same actors are now different people. Like Josh seeing Ariana DeBose and saying, "wait, you were this wholesome school teacher, what happened?". Maybe there's a whole other meta-level to this city where all these people are trapped in these musicals and Josh and Melissa need to find a way to break the curse.
I agree, it's probably not about having a baby, she delivers babies, so that clip is showing the usual grind in reality. As far as costumes, although they might have obtained some to go back and find Schmigadoon, I have another idea. In the first one, Melissa wears several different dresses which I doubt she would have packed for a camping trip. I figured since the automatically know the lyrics and dance steps, that by the same magic, they have appropriate clothing available when they finish bathing or otherwise need to change clothes.

Ok but imagine an entire season of Schmigadoon in a Man of La Mancha setting giving Galavant vibes?
I think were gunna get all the musicals in different seasons
I’m hoping to see some 80s mega-musical content (ALW/Sondheim type stuff) in season 3!

The opening ultrasound obstetric sounds giving the percussion feel of Cell Block Tango! Also, I kind of shrieked when I saw Alan Cumming as Sweeney.
A Chenoweth Mrs Lovett fulfills a dream role I never knew I needed

Yes. We need a full trailer Schmeakdown! Stat!
Yes, we definitely need a trailer breakdown!
With Tevit’s reference to getting naked, is it Hair rather than Godspell? I immediately thought Hair.
I was thinking Hair with a bit of Sweet Charity's Rhythm of Life
I think it's a blend. They're parodying the era as much as specific shows, so I don't think it's out there to have a reference to one show coming from a character from another.
I think his character is supposed to be a parody of hippy/rock ‘n’ roll musical that cropped up at the time in general.
His last name is spelled “Tveit”

I am also very excited for this!! It looks great.
I was so STOKED watching this trailer! It's fosse season babyyyyy
Excellent as always! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Yes! I am waiting for your breakdown for the season 2 as well!
Watched it this morning and finally had a chance to comment. So excited, can't wait, love all the shows being featured!!
FINALLY!!!!!!!!!
I can't wait to see the new season!! You should definitely do a full breakdown of the trailer and the episodes later on!
I see hair, I heard pippin, I see Chicago and sweeney, I AM IN HEAVEN
Yes please to the full trailer breakdown
OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! Great breakdown so far, more please! 😆
If season 3 will cover the 80s they better have Jane krakowski in roller blades singing a starlight express parody
I'm pretty sure Aaron Tveit is channeling Berger in "Hair" :D
Definitely😂 especially when he invited Mel and Josh to strip

Pastiches I saw: Pippin, Cabaret, Sweeney Todd, Annie, and Chicago, also a bit of Chorus Line, Hair and Godspell. Any more?
Please do a Schmeakdown of the trailer! Can’t wait for the season!
This looks so much better than I could have wished for! I am soo excited, any date mentioned?
First two episodes premiere April 7 and then another episode is dropped each week 🤗
@@UndercoverBallerina The first episodes will air on April 5th, actually!
@@SD-ji8qj Thank you!!!!
@@SD-ji8qj Oh, whoops! Thanks for that correction. Now I have two fewer days to wait!
omg is that a “corn puddin’” shirt???😂

You can check them out here! broadway-by-ghostlight.creator-spring.com/listing/corn-puddin
I’m just praying for the same ensemble! They were fantastic last season, I have a big crush on the dark brunette ( you know who!)
Time for a rewatch!
Well I’ll be signing back up for another streaming service in April, apparently
Damn that looks good!
i don’t see Fred Armisen. 🙁
but Titus’s Burgess is a welcome addition.
Sadly, Fred Armisen is not in this season 😭
The countdown begins!
What show do you think Jaime is representing? Is it Evita?
Possibly or maybe a not-see in the Cabret segments
When? WHEN? WHENNNNNNN?
So hyped!
Yayyy
I can’t wait now 😂
I AM DEAD (cause of death pure happiness)
