[manyfandomocs]

do you post headcanons or like snippets of writing? i’d love to see some for your betsy mcdonough/robin davidson ship! (if that’s okay)

I do indeed!! Here have both I’m excited someone’s asking about Robin and Betsy

Headcanons

Robin and Betsy have lots of picnic dates

Their first real kiss isn't until the finale but they do have a small moment in the tunnel of love at the carnival

Danny is the best man for their "wedding" (it's not really a real/legal wedding but)

Snippet

“Why Miss Davidson, if I didn't know any better I'd say you're sweet on me." Betsy winked, which just sent Robin's heart ablaze in a way that she felt like she'd have to talk to Reverend Layton about.

"I just thought the flower suited you better than the carnival grounds. It would look really nice in your hair." And that was supposed to be that, Robin gave her the flower and was going to turn away. But Betsy stopped her with a soft touch of her hand.

"Put it in for me?"

[theater-flags]

Mlm flag, picked off Reverend Howard Layton and Aloysius Menlove from Schmigadoon!

requested by mod a

[starburns]

THEY KISSED!!!1!!1

[pluviophile-bookworm]

Mayor Menlove and Reverend Layton had a moment and this is not a drill! Did we all collectively call it or what?

Also, I was not expecting a sex-ed Sound of Music parody, but I'm kind of finding it super hilarious... kind of like it's straight out of SNL.

(I have no idea why I'm making a whole bunch of separate reaction posts instead of one cohesive long post for the entire episode, but... I guess that's how I'm doing it right now. I'll just... play it by ear, I guess)

3am Schmigadoon fic anybody??

Schmigadoon, Ep.3 – Cross That Bridge

Never realized there were so many deaths in musicals.  Well, we’re halfway through the season and we’re starting to see why things between Melissa and Josh aren’t working.  At least, we’re seeing some issues with Josh’s approach to the relationship.  Or rather, it’s really spotlighted in this episode.  We’ve seen things on both sides that could be issues and I’m guessing Melissa’s will be focused on soon.

The episode starts, like all the episodes, with a flashback.  This time Melissa and Josh are at a wedding and it’s very clear that they are on different pages on several things.  It also becomes very noticeable that Josh, when he doesn’t want to do something; he just doesn’t do it.  And it seems like....look, when your in a relationship, sometimes you do things that may not be your cup of tea, but is  something your partner likes.  Nothing that makes your truly uncomfortable, just something you wouldn’t do on your own. It doesn’t seem like that happens much in Melissa and Josh’s relationship.  To the point that it seems like they can’t even have a discussion about their relationship as it's not something he wants to talk about.  

We then cut back to Schmigadoon, with Melissa waking up in Danny’s bed.  Of course, sleeping with Melissa has made Danny a changed man and he’s clearly found the one.  It also becomes very clear that Danny has neither heard of a one-night stand or contraceptives. And, as he plans for his future family/life of crime (long song), Melissa sneaks away to find Josh.  Of course, she immediately finds out he’s engaged; which makes her angry…until she finds out why he’s engaged and she finds it hilarious.

At the same time, they also find out that they’ve been kicked out of the Hotel. It turns out the Mother Against the Future (um, sure), which is lead by Mildred, has decided that the two are immoral and therefore no one should give them shelter.  Melissa tells Josh she will try to talk with the Mayor and he should break off the engagement with Betsy.  

Josh takes a walk with Betsy and is about to break it off with her, when she mentions something about true love.  Josh realizes that he has no idea what true love means in this town (or in general, apparently) and wonders if this is his way out.  He tells Betsy that his family has an old tradition that says that he would be able to tell if they’re true lovers by crossing over a bridge.  They try to cross the bridge and he finds himself still stuck. At this point, he breaks it off with Betsy; who goes crying to her Pa.  However, Josh has an idea.

Meanwhile, Melissa is talking with the Mayor’s wife and realizing that the wife clearly doesn’t know why her husband goes on those long walks.  Anyway, news quickly spreads that Josh has broken up with Betsy.  Melissa goes to find Josh in hopes they can work things out.

Meanwhile, Josh has gathered every available woman in town and proceeds to cross over the bridge in hopes of finding his true love.  Of course, it doesn’t work and Melissa catches him in the act.  She makes it clear he’s on his own now and leaves.  Suddenly, a shot rings out!  Pa’s here and he’s pissed.  Josh runs back to town and runs into the Church.

It’s here where he’s given a vital clue about how true love ISN’T EASY AND TAKES WORK!  Josh seems to ponder this for a second until he realizes that he hasn’t walked the school teacher over the bridge and, even though she’s told everybody she’s not interested in marriage, she must be his true love.  I mean, he hasn’t given a damn about a woman’s agency yet, why start now?

Melissa, meanwhile, has decided to take a job as a Nurse (‘cause who’s heard of a lady Doctor? Certainly, not this town.) because it comes with free lodgings.  It’s at this point she meets….the young Doctor.  (Well, young is a relative term.  close to middle age Doctor, maybe?).

Schmigadoon! Stage Musical Finds Its Cast for Upcoming World Premiere

Javier Muñoz, Ann Harada, Alex Brightman, and Isabelle McCalla are among the stage favorites bringing the musical TV series to the Kennedy Center stage.

By Logan Culwell-Block

November 18, 2024

Casting has been revealed for Kennedy Center's upcoming world premiere stage version of Apple TV's Schmigadoon!, set to take the Washington, D.C. theatre's Eisenhower Theater January 31-February 9, 2025. Ann Harada will reprise her performance as Florence Menlove, joined by newcomers Alex Brightman (Beetlejuice) as Josh Skinner, Sara Chase (The Great Gatsby) as Melissa Gimble, Kevin Del Aguila (Some Like It Hot) as Reverend Layton, McKenzie Kurtz (Wicked) as Betsy McDonough, Isabelle McCalla (Water for Elephants) as Emma Tate, Javier Muñoz (Hamilton) as Doc Lopez, Brad Oscar (Something Rotten!) as Mayor Menlove, Emily Skinner (Suffs) as Mildred Layton, and Ryan Vasquez (The Notebook) as Danny Bailey. Casting is by The Telsey Office. Christopher Gattelli, who choreographed both seasons of the series, will direct and choreograph the stage version, which will feature a book, music, and lyrics by series creator Cinco Paul. Press notes indicate audiences can expect songs from the series' Grammy-nominated score plus new tunes. David Chase is serving as music supervisor, with orchestrations by Doug Besterman and music direction by Steven Malone. The musical will follow the plot of the show's first season, which saw a couple, struggling to save their relationship, who suddenly find themselves in Schmigadoon, a magical world populated with characters, plots, songs, and dance numbers inspired by Golden Age musicals like Oklahoma!, The Music Man, and Carousel. The production is being presented by special arrangement with Lorne Michaels' Broadway Video, which produced the series. The series premiered on Apple TV+ in 2021, with a second season in 2023 that sent its characters to Schmicago, complete with parodies of '70s musicals like Pippin, Godspell, and Sweeney Todd. Read Playbill's exhaustive recaps of all first and second season episodes for a deep dive into the series' many musical theatre Easter eggs, references, and parodies. The upcoming production will also include scenic design by Scott Pask, lighting design by Jen Schriever, and sound design by Haley Parcher. Tickets are available at Kennedy-Center.org.

NO BECAUSE IT'S SO UNDERRATED

Why oh why is nobody talking about Schmigadoon?

[buttercup-bard]

And speaking of the truth, it's time I let all of you know... that I am a homosexual too. And I have feelings for Aloysius.

There's something really cute about how much Alan Cumming and Fred Armisen interacted in that (actually adorable and beautifully animated) 2D animated Smurfs movie, when as human beings they fell in love in Schmigadoon. Alan and Fred belong together in fantastical alternate universes I guess.
