Shamilton! The Improvised Hip-Hop Musical

Baby Wants Candy • Professional company

60 minutes•Studio One
Baby Wants Candy's 2024-2025 total sell-out hip-hop hit returns! We improvise an epic musical based on a historical figure/celebrity of your choosing (Genghis Khan, Paul Hollywood, Kim Kardashian, anyone!). Just like Hamilton but (ahem) better! Expect the same level of hip hop, storytelling, stunning choreography and powerhouse singing, except made up on the spot. 'An absolute extravaganza, absolute pinnacle of improv. They freestyle lyrics that rival Lin-Manuel himself. Tremendously impressive, side-splittingly funny to the point oxygen becomes a luxury. Shamilton astounded me' ***** (Entertainment-Now.com). 'Brilliant' **** (Guardian). 'Cease and desist!' (Lin-Manuel Miranda).
