The premise of Schmigadoon! intrigues me. Not that I'd ever want to be stuck there - a visit, sure. But forever? No way. I haven't seen it, but from what I've heard about Season 2 of the TV series, I think that might be a more interesting place to get stuck in. Anyway, that premise got me thinking about what musicals I wouldn't mind being stuck in for a while. Thus, today's Friday 5. (in order by show title)
Gander, Newfoundland - Come From Away
Don't get me wrong. I don't want to relive those fateful days in 2001. But I would love to visit a town where people come together without much thought to themselves. The very best of humanity was revealed there, and 25 years later, I sure would love a big dose of that! Plus, I would love to kiss that fish and become an honorary Gander-ite!
Colonial New York City - Hamilton
The colonial era of the United States has always been a favorite of mine to study. I grew up in Upstate New York, and you can't get away from the history there. But as they say in Hamilton, New York is the greatest city in the world. And as much as I love it today, I'd love to see what it looked like back then. Rubbing shoulders with passionate men and women, drinking out of pewter mugs, and wearing knickerbockers for a few days sounds like a blast. And I'd love to meet the Schuyler sisters (especially Peggy), and sneak a peek at the most famous duel in American History!
Jeju Island - Maybe Happy Ending
I bet it is beautiful there. And I think it would be fun to collect fireflies with two sweet HelperBots. The peace and quiet would be great, as long as I get to meet Hwaboon and at least see a hologram of Gil Brentley. Plus, I love a nice ferry ride!
Rural Australia - Priscilla Queen of the Desert
I've always wanted to see Australia, and what better way to do than a road trip!? Priscilla is all decked out and surely she can handle a 4th passenger. The clothes, the scenery and the music... what a way to go! G'day, mate! Outback, here I come!
Cloisterham - The Mystery of Edwin Drood
It's one of my favorite shows, and I love all things England, so it makes sense I'd like to spend a few days there. Maybe take the train to London and try Princess Puffer's opium den with John Jasper. And do a little repenting in the cathedral, followed by a ghost tour of the crypts. Of course, it might be fun to be an assistant to Dick Datchery...or a suspect!
Where is your Broadway Schmigadoon? Let us know for a future Friday 5!
