Apple TV Plus series Schmigadoon! has proven to be both a homage and playful spoof of many classic musicals throughout its run. In the first season, the show focused on classic musicals from around the 1950s — their bright colors and upbeat, family safe tones. But in Schmigadoon! season 2, things get a darker turn as they move on to the musicals that defined the late '60s and '70s.
That era of musical theater saw the emergence of Stephen Sondheim, Andrew Lloyd Weber and Bob Fosse, with some of its most famous plays including Sweeney Todd, Cabaret, Company, Annie and Chicago.
