Join members of famed musical improv group Baby Wants Candy as they return to Madison to create an epic musical on the spot based on a historical celebrity of your choosing—from Genghis Khan to Kim Kardashian to basketball playing superdog Air Bud. It's the show the Guardian lauds ★★★★ “Brilliant”, New York Times raves "One of the top 5 comedy shows to catch” and Lin-Manuel Miranda calls "cease and desist!" 

“Shamilton! The Improvised Hip-Hop Parody Musical” has enjoyed fully sold out runs at UCB in Los Angeles, UCB's Del Close Marathon in New York and packed houses in Chicago at the Second City.  

Who will take center stage? That’s up to you! Get ready for history like you’ve never seen or heard it before.
