Shamilton! The Improvised Hip-Hop Musical - Edinburgh Fringe 2025

Advertisement

Baby Wants Candy's hip-hop Hamilton homage returns! Following sold-out runs in Chicago, NYC and LA. We improvise an epic musical based on historical figures/celebrities you choose (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' (β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…) Entertainment-Now.com
It's the show Lin-Manuel calls, 'Cease and Desist!'
