Improv Baby Wants Candy

Improv Baby Wants Candy is a long-form improvised musical staged at UCB Theatre, built in real time from audience suggestions. Performers invent characters, scenes, and songs on the spot, using the familiar structure of Broadway as a working template rather than a fixed script. In New York, the show sits in a lineage of downtown comedy that treats musical theater as a shared vernacular, open to revision and play. Its best moments double as quiet criticism, showing how quickly theatrical certainty can be manufactured.
