Drunk Musicals at Green Fig Piano Bar

The intimate concert venue dubbed Broadway’s “off-night hotspot” by The New York Times – will present Drunk Musicals. This fun, 90-minute interactive show for audiences 21 and over takes musical highlights from your favorite musicals and set them to a parody script, telling the story of each musical (while poking fun at it) so even your favorite non-Broadway lover will understand the premise of the show. The actors are challenged to perform the show while the audience has the ability to send them shots. The sobriety of these actors is completely in the audience’s hands. Drunk Musicals performs parodies of Wicked, Beauty and the Beast, Chicago, Rocky Horror Picture Show, Little Shop of Horrors, and many more. Half scripted, half improv, you will never see the same show twice. Drunk Musicals was created by producer Kaylee MacKnight and music director Michael Ferrara.

Drunk Musicals started at New York’s West End Lounge over six years ago when Kaylee was working the Monday night open mics. At the time, she was binging “Drunk History” and one night she thought: “Why not combine the two? Why not sing musicals while the audience sends shots to challenge the actors? Most of these people who attended the open mic were doing it anyways!” She came up with the concept of it being like a “cast party” to parody musicals, get drunk, but also tell the story of it so that people who haven’t seen the show would understand the concept and eventually want to go see the actual production. After a lot of asking around, Kaylee was introduced to Michael, who was immediately on board. Michael put together the music and handled all of the orchestrations. The first show was Thoroughly Modern Millie and it played to a sold-out house. Drunk Musicals was born.
