Alan Cumming must have had a ball doing this show. He just constantly looks like he’s having a blast

[@jamesmcinnis208]

That's so important.

I actually find this song to be truly beautiful, putting aside the comedic aspect to it. It really conveys the yearning that The Mayor feels, and how he must use someone else’s situation to channel his feelings in fear of his own persecution. The “bells won’t be ringing” and “no angels singing” lines are particularly powerful to me. Unironically, it really resonates with me (I am queer too, so that helps).

[@FranMSK]

Totally agree!!

[@jenniferhanses]

I agree that it is a totally beautiful song. I also think it's a strong piece in terms of conveying the Mayor's character. Yes, the queer aspect, and his longing to follow his heart, but also his kindness for others and that he does wish them well, even the people who have something he's not allowed to /not allowing himself to have. He's a truly good person.

"actually"

100%! This song is both hilarious and beautiful

[@indiciaobscure]

the color grading is sooo impressive, it really feels like those old films

0:31 - "no b**tch, this is MY solo" 😂

[@Daniel-Strain]

He was my favorite in the whole show. His every expression, gesture, and his singing are perfection. What a great job he did.

[@aileencg23]

i love the part "at last that love that was forbbiden, no longer must be hidden" His voice sounds so goooood omg 🥺🥺🥺

[@lucaliliahidas5738]

I love how when he things "no longer must be hidden" he realises that he probably sort of said too much but finishes his solo nonetheless.

[@mojosbigsticks]

The scots accent just peeks through. Wonderful.

This was such a lovely version of Somewhere Love Is Waiting For You by Alan Cumming. He is so very talented. I love his singing voice and I adore him so much. Alan is a mega superstar and I just adore him and love him. The way Alan held the note at the end of the song gave me Mack & Mabel vibes and that sent a shiver down my spine and gave me goosebumps at the same time. I just adore this gorgeous, sexy, funny, handsome man. Someone give him a lead role in a WestEnd musical because he is so goddamn talented. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

i love the mayor's subplot so much, i wish the pastor could have more screen time

[@83gemm]

You cut off the best line when he responds, “I try to be.”

[@asnalelo.165]

i’m sorry😭 i wanted to include it but these were so damn hard to screenrecorf because the site was so laggy. but I thought that cutting it off at that line could be funny too.

[@Zoster7]

I freaking died at his first “SOOOMEWHERE” hahaha

[@naastyaaaaaaaaa]

The Mayer is such a sweetheart. Perfect underrated song.💚

[@Thehouseoffail]

I saw this show specifically for him

[@paigegarrison6721]

Me too! :D

[@troygaspard6732]

Some enchanted evening, you may meet a stranger. So obvious, and well done.

[@FranMSK]

He's such a sweetheart

[@Nigelrathbone1]

Reminds me of Some Enchanted Evening from South Pacific

[@christakimoto8425]

It is interesting that he sings with an accent just in the song and it is definitely not a Scottish accent. I was thinking he was parodying Ezio Pinza in South Pacific's "Some Enchanted Evening"! Alan can do an American accent in his sleep so it is definitely a conscious addition to the song. Another Easter Egg?

[@Pinkpanda73]

After binging the series, I can hear the melody of “You Make Me Wanna Sing” at the end, gasp!!!! FORESHADOWING

[@asnalelo.165]

omggggg!!!!! i never noticed that before. i did notice that the first instrumental in episode 1 is literally a mashup between SLIWFY and YMMWS though

[@chr1s415]

Omg you're right!!!

[@adi_1606]

I though she'll just say thank you but i laugh so hard

[@johnsheehan7215]

I know this actor but not by a name he starred as floop in spy kids 1 and 2 I don't think he was in all the spy kids movies. As my memory serves me correctly he was only in spy kids one and two. I love this actor so much you coming he's Goofy and funny and such a wonderful man. He would definitely make a wonderful husband to a lucky girl. And a wonderful father to a lucky boy and girl this actor is such a magical actor. He's like the male male version of Mary Poppins

[@asnalelo.165]

his name is Alan Cumming! he is gay though so, a wonderful husband to a Lucky man is more like it!:-)

[@johnsheehan7215]

@@asnalelo.165 Are you referring to his life off screen in real life or are you referring to his character in schmigadoon? I seriously doubt that he's a gay actor real life off screen. All he does is play the roles that he is given

Wait. That's not Eric Idol ??!

Damn Eric Idle would have been fantastic too! In either role featured in this clip.
