Baby Wants Candy

Tickets $15 advance, $20 at the door
About this show Baby Wants Candy ("Critics' Pick. Truly Amazing!" New York Times), the Completely Improvised Full-Band Musical, is one of the world's most popular and critically acclaimed comedy ensembles, with casts and sold-out runs in NY, Chicago and LA and an international touring company, with 8 years of fully sold-out, 5-star runs at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival and all over the world.
BWC 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 theater as "Fortnite-mare on Elm Street" comes to life in front of your eyes. Marvel at the (ahem) highbrow spontaneous genius conjured from the ether at shows like "HotUncles.com... the Musical".
It's a roller-coaster ride of spontaneously choreographed holiday dance numbers, heartwarming characters, rhyming verses and witty, jaw-dropping comedy.
Start thinking of your title now!
Baby Wants Candy has help launch the careers of top comedic actors and writers, from Chris Grace (Superstore), Thomas Middleditch (HBO’s Silicon Valley), Jack McBrayer (Kenneth in 30 Rock), Aidy Bryant (Saturday Night Live), Amber Ruffin and Tarik Davis (The Amber Ruffin Show) Craig Cackowski (Curb Your Enthusiasm, Arrested Development), Peter Gwinn (Colbert Report), Nicole Parker (Elpheba in Wicked on Broadway) and many more.
