Christopher Gattelli has 120+ Broadway credits in his ensemble alone!
The director and choreographer of Schmigadoon! sits down with Katharine Quinn to talk about the show that was always destined for Broadway. It just had to take the long way. From a cold Instagram DM with the creator of Despicable Me, to working alongside Julie Andrews, to reconstructing a Golden Age musical from scratch in two weeks flat.
If you've ever felt the tap break in Corn Puddin' in your bones, this conversation is for you.
Schmigadoon! is now on Broadway at the Nederlander Theatre.

And That's Showbiz is Broadway for the fans, the obsessives, and everyone who cried at a tap number. New episodes every week.
