Look alive, theatre nerds. It's time for a quiz. The topic? Golden Age musicals, inspired by the upcoming Broadway bow for Schmigadoon!, the Apple TV+ series that satirizes the Broadway and Hollywood musicals of the first half of the 20th century. The show begins previews at the Nederlander Theatre April 6, 2026 ahead of an April 20 opening night. So the time is now to make sure you know your "Do-Re-Mi"'s from your "Shipoopi"'s.
But you're a Playbill reader. We already know you know the easy stuff. This quiz is not about that. To ace this quiz, you'll have to really know your Broadway musical trivia, from the actors that starred in the original productions, the artists who created the shows, and the movie musicals that made them household names. We've put a time limit on the quiz, so no Googling allowed (though you will get an extra minute if you quickly answer a question).
Deep breath. Be brave. You got this. And no worries if you don't get a perfect score. With this level of difficulty, we might actually be more worried if you do get a perfect score.

Paul's adaptation includes all of the songs from the series' Grammy-nominated score plus some new titles, including songs cut from the series and new songs. 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.
