I've read that upcoming episodes will include flashbacks of Melissa and Josh that show more how they bonded and fell in love. Traditionally, in a musical, that relationship would be shown through song, usually a duet. But since the premise of ''Schmigadoon!'' involves Josh, a guy who hates musicals, you can't have him singing ... yet. I'm assuming his arc will involve how he comes around and literally finds harmony with Melissa.
As for minor plot holes, musicals already expect you to take a leap of faith, especially if you believe people can suddenly burst into song. Looking back at ''Brigadoon,'' would modern-day Americans really be able to understand, let alone sing with, Scottish folk from a century ago? ;) |
