Bonus Episode- Schmigadoon! Season 2 Ep. 2 Review
from Before the Downbeat: A Musical Podcast · host Mackenzie Horner
Enjoy our next instalment in our 'Schmigadoon!' review miniseries. Join Mackenzie has dives deeper into the now rebranded world of 'Schmicago!'. He explores the historical context and influence behind the concept of the doorway to where. Plus how the big hit number 'Bustin' Out' reflects how the songs of the 70s worked around the lack of straightforwardly entertaining numbers due to the darker and grittier stories being told by using showy, old-school numbers with thoughtfully written lyrics to ironically comment on the plot. Plus he points out the overlooked Funny Girl reference in the episode. All this and some flimflam, flapdoodle, and pizzazz.
