Baby Wants Candy! The Original Completely Improvised Musical
“CRITICS’ PICK. TRULY AMAZING!” – New York Times
“BEST VISITING IMPROV COMEDY!”– TimeOut NY
“HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!” – The Onion
“★★★★★” THEY ARE AN ENTERTAINMENT PHENOMENON AND I AM IN AWE OF THEIR TALENT!” – The Scotsman
Baby Wants Candy creates the opening and closing night of a one night only smash-hit musical based on audience suggestions – every single night!
Witness the plot of Kanye West Side Story – pulled out of thin air! Behold the beauty of high brow spontaneous theater as the ensemble conjures shows like Mary Poppins Has Ebola, The Dirt Devil Wears Prada, Tinder in the Animal Kingdom, HotUncles.com – or whatever the audience suggests – right in front of your eyes.
It’s a roller-coaster ride of spontaneously choreographed dance numbers, heartwarming characters, rhyming verses and witty, jaw-dropping comedy.
