Musical Improv Supergroup Baby Wants Candy is BACK!
Baby Wants Candy is one of the world's most popular and critically acclaimed comedy ensembles, with casts in NY, Chicago and LA and an international touring company. And after years of sell-out shows at UCB NY, BWC brings its fully improvised full band musical to Asylum NY!
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.
