FM4 Interview with Director Barry Sonnenfeld on Schmigadoon! - a podcast by ORF Radio FM4

Musicals. Are you a lovah or a hate-ah?
Well, there's a new series on Apple+TV that will appeal to the lovers and the haters:
Schmigadoon!
The six-part series follows couple Josh and Melissa, played by Keegan-Michael Key and Cecily Strong, as they find themselves lost on a couple?s hiking retreat. They somehow find their way to very colourful town colourful in set design, costumes, and in casting. Schmigadoon! Is a tongue in cheek nod to the 1954 American Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer musical Brigadoon and a very nu-school version of old-school musicals which were mostly white and straight when it comes to representation.
Riem Higazi was very happy to interview Schmigadoon! director Barry Sonnenfeld. He was once the cinematographer for the Coen brothers before he started directing major Hollywood blockbusters such as the Men in Black trilogy.
