NEW YORK — Aaron Tveit has starred in some amazing Broadway shows, but some of the classics have eluded him. So he was delighted to speed his way through many of them in the second season of "Schmigadoon!"

The Apple+ series that gently mocks Broadway musicals cast Tveit in a role that has snatches of "Pippin," "Godspell," "Hair" and "Jesus Christ Superstar" and put him again alongside a who's-who of Broadway veterans.

"It's just a dream," says the Tony Award winner. "It's so much fun and we have a blast doing it. I'm very, very fortunate to have had this come my way when it did. And I just can't believe we keep getting to do it."

"Schmigadoon!" returns this month, tackling the musicals of 1965-1979 with the same two main stars — Cecily Strong and Keegan-Michael Key — and many of the same stage talent that enlivened the first season, like Tveit and Jane Krakowski.
