Will this follow in the footsteps of The Outsiders, Lempicka and Redwood and head to Broadway next? STAY TUNED!

Schmigadoon was an absolute delight and exactly the show we need right now and I need everyone to go see it so it goes to Broadway and becomes such a hit that some streaming platform has no choice but to pick of the show for a season 3

Finally got to the point I’m crying at TikTok goodbye videos. We really are losing a whole community and everyone is dispersing across the web or leaving altogether but for the last 5 years we got to gather in our own little corner and it was really freaking special

If you like a) original musicals, b) sapphic love stories, and c) romantic comedies that balance realistic family dynamics and heightened stakes, then HAVE I GOT A SHOW FOR YOU TO LOOK OUT FOR! Loving the premise of CafΓ© con Leche so far, and cannot wait to see this develop
