Event Details
Whether you love or fear musicals, you can delight in Baby Wants Candy, a fully improvised comedy show with song, dance, and a live band. The awkward dance sequences, garbled choruses, and logical errors of the improvised plot make the weekly show both hilarious and endearing. The audiences shout out titles, calling into existence the first (and only) night of shows like Best Little Whorehouse in Schaumburg,A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Proctologist's Office, and The Viagra Monologues. After the hour-long musical is over, the cast calls on audience members willing to laugh at themselves, who then become the subjects of shorter, spontaneous musical acts.

    This long-running improvised musical charms with its inspired silliness and is on its way to becoming a local institution. more at timeoutchicago.com
