If you can’t get enough of Ana Gasteyer‘s campy alter ego September L. Davis, you’re in luck. The SNL alum and current Schmigadoon! Broadway star will bring a new solo character show to Studio Seaview Off-Broadway for nine performances only this fall. September L. Davis: The Apology Tour will play the theatre Sundays and Mondays September 20-October 5.
Gasteyer created the character during the build-up to Schmigadoon!’s Broadway opening. The original lore was that Davis, an egotistical and talent-challenged actor, believed that Gasteyer had unfairly stolen the role of Mildred Layton (Gasteyer’s character in Schmigadoon!) from her. Davis even made a surprise appearance on the Schmigadoon! opening night red carpet.
In the weeks since—a period that included Gasteyer getting a 2026 Tony nomination for playing Mildred, the straight-laced villain of Schmigadoon!—Davis has beefed online with a number of Broadway notables, faked her own death, and other hijinks.
The persona is the latest in Gasteyer’s esteemed rolodex of comedy characters, which on Saturday Night Live included such favorites as school music teacher-turned pop music singer Bobbi Mohan-Culp, NPR host Margaret Jo McCullen, Céline Dion, Martha Stewart, and many more.
Press notes share that audiences can expect a night of “apologies, memories, music, and songs,” with the evening themed around Davis apologizing “to those [she] has wronged.” The performance will also include audience participation.
Gasteyer’s other Broadway credits include playing Elphaba in Wicked, Threepenny Opera, and Once Upon a Mattress.
