Movie #3053 "Schmigadoon" - Season 2: " Schmicago" (Apple) I didn't think I could like this one better than the first, but I did, mostly because the first one represented Rogers and Hammerstein -type musicals, and this one is more Sondheim --- the music is far more interesting and the way they wove into the storyline, and mixed two or more shows together with the songs was amazing! The Songs and Lyrics were sooooooo witty, and sondheim- like (a lot of rhyming, which is twice as difficult, in my opinion). Just one example of a great idea: mashing together Mrs. Hannigan with Sweeny Todd --- Brilliant. And the actors are all more than capable --- what fun! I highly recommend this! 5+++
