Baby Wants Candy’s improvised hit Hamilton-inspired hip hop homage returns to UCB. New York Times “One of the Top 5 Comedy’s to Catch.”
Ever heard of this show “Hamilton”? Shamilton is just like that, but (ahem) better! Expect the same level of hip hop, incredible songs, stunning choreography and powerhouse singing except made up on the spot!
Fresh off a month-long fully sold-out run at the Edinburgh Fringe, musical improv ensemble Baby Wants Candy presents “Shamilton!”, the Hamilton inspired hit hip-hop musical created in 2016 at UCB in LA, with an open run at Chicago’s Second City.
Join the Shamilton cast as they improvise an epic musical based on a historical figure of your choosing- from Genghis Khan to Mr. Rogers to Kim Kardashian to basketball playing superdog Air Bud.
It’s the show
The Guardian calls “Brilliant 4 stars”
