Cecily Strong as Melissa Gimble 

Cecily Strong plays Melissa Gimble, an OB-GYN from New York City who is Josh’s girlfriend. Melissa is initially dubious about Schmigadoon and its residents in the first season, but she eventually learns to appreciate the romanticism and whimsy of the musical universe she has found herself in. But Melissa is in for a huge surprise when Schmigadoon takes a darker turn in Season 2.

Strong made a name for herself as a cast member on Saturday Night Live from 2012 to 2022, thanks to her quick wit and deft impersonations. She has also appeared in the films The Boss (2016) and Ghostbusters (2016). (2016).

Keegan-Michael Key as Josh Skinner 

Keegan-Michael Key plays Josh Skinner, who is an orthopedic surgeon from New York City and Melissa’s boyfriend. Josh first opposes the notion of being in a musical, just like Melissa did. Yet, he eventually starts to love the romance and magic of the environment. Of course, that was before Season 2 when he appeared in a darker rendition of Schmigadoon.

When he and Jordan Peele co-created and starred in Comedy Central’s Key & Peele, Key established himself as a prominent figure in the entertainment world. Along with the sketch show, Key has appeared in Parks and Recreation and Fargo, as well as playing a variety of roles in movies like The Super Mario Bros. Movie, Jingle Jangle: A Christmas Adventure, and others.

Dove Cameron as Jenny Banks 

Dove Cameron portrays Jenny Banks, a spoof of Sally Bowles from Cabaret. Fans can anticipate that she will embody the same carefree and free-spirited attributes as Sally Bowles, conveyed through her bright and fascinating performances, even though little is known about the character.

Cameron rose to fame as a young actress on the Disney Channel, where she appeared in the popular shows Liv and Maddie and the Descendant’s original film series. Schmigadoondebut!’s season featured Cameron in the role of waitress Betsy McDonough.

Ariana DeBose as Emcee 

Ariana DeBose plays the Emcee, a spoof of the same role in Cabaret. The Emcee is the master of ceremonies of the Kit Kat Klub, a filthy nightclub where Sally Bowles plays in the original musical. Emcees will probably exhibit the same witty and flamboyant traits as their Cabaret counterparts in Schmigadoon!

DeBose earned an Oscar Award for Best Supporting Actress for her work in Steven Spielberg’s West Side Story. She was a member of the original ensemble cast of Lin-Manuel Miranda’s critically acclaimed musical Hamilton. She additionally made an appearance in the first season of Schmigadoon! as schoolmarm Emma Tate.
