inco aul, the show runner, creator, writer and composer of the songs clearly loved these musicals more than anyone I have ever met and came prepared with an encyclopedic knowledge of all fi lmed musicals. After reading all six episodes, I listened to early rough versions of all the songs and looked at the vast collection of clips from relevant musicals. These clips included The Music Man, Seven Brides for Seven Brothers, Oklahoma!, Meet Me in St. Louis, Singin' in the Rain, and many, many more. h, did I mention Brigadoon All of these served as the A for the design of the town of Schmigadoon! and surroundings. The Art epartment absorbed these, distilled the unifying design elements, palette, period and spun this into our own distinct but familiar interpretation of an idealied American town of a nonspecifi c period where cows were cows, and men were men as sung in the opening number. The intention was to contrast sharply with the brief contemporary framework at the beginning of each episode. nce the show's couple crossed that bridge, they entered this mythical musical world, A.
