Who are Baby Wants Candy?
Baby Wants Candy is an improv company that makes up complete musicals, with casts in Chicago, Los Angeles and New York and a company that tours internationally. A member of the audience shouts the name of a musical nobody has ever staged, and that title becomes the theme of a show invented on the spot, which premieres and closes in the same evening. The company has sold out its Edinburgh Fringe runs every year from 2015 to 2025 and created Shamilton, its improvised hip-hop musical, which the Guardian listed among the best shows already reviewed at the 2024 Fringe. Saturday Night Live's Aidy Bryant and Vanessa Bayer and 30 Rock's Jack McBrayer are among its members and alumni. [1][2][3]
