This event is over.
The world's premier musical improvisation theater company started in Chicago with companies also in New York and Los Angeles. They have performed their unique brand of musical theater entertainment across the globe from Singapore to Charleston to Edinburgh. According to the Scotsman, they combine "creative wit with awesome performances. They are an entertainment phenomenon."
Baby Wants Candy has performed over 2,000 completely improvised musicals around the world. The show begins with the cast asking the audience for a suggestion of a musical title that has never been performed before. Such titles as Centaur, Put That Down, Revenge of Thomas Jefferson, The Department of Redundancy Department, and The Day That Gingers Rule the World the Musical!
Accompanied by a piano, the first title that the group hears becomes the title and theme for that evening's show. It's a roller coaster ride of off-the-cuff choreographed dance numbers, rhyming verses, and witty, jaw-dropping comedy. Each performance is its own opening and closing night, and by design every show is completely unique and a once-in-a-lifetime premiere. Start thinking of your title now!
Tickets are priced at $20 (regular), $16 (discount for senior citizens and groups of 15 or more), and $12 (I-Card holder, students, and children).
