A popular destination for student groups, you never quite know what the show will be about. Many audience volunteers participate on stage while all are invited to contribute and inspire ideas for scenes and music. Recent audiences have had fun with Justin Bieber, Charlie Sheen, Lady Gaga, Kesha, Civil Unrest in the Mideast, Wisconsin, Obama, and Facebook. Often profound and topical, the show is always hilarious and relevant. Kicking it up a notch with improvised hip-hop, blues, Broadway and rock parodies, this show is like no other in NYC.
