“Schmigadoon!,” a knowing, and loving, musical theater satire that imagines a bickering couple stranded in an otherworldly town whose denizens keep bursting into song, won the Tony Award for best new musical Sunday night.
The prize has traditionally been the most coveted Tony Award because it has often had the greatest box office impact, and “Schmigadoon!” could use the help — its sales have been soft, despite mostly positive reviews. (The show “is a blast,” the critic Elisabeth Vincentelli wrote in The New York Times.)
