Shamilton: The Improvised Hip-hop Musical

The improvised hip-hop musical where you pick the historical legend, and the cast makes up the rest.

Ever heard of this show Hamilton? Shamilton is just like that but, *ahem*, better! Expect the same level of hip-hop, incredible songs, stunning choreography and powerhouse singing… except made up by the cast. Returning after their fully sold-out month-long run at the 2024 Edinburgh Fringe Festival, comedy supergroup Baby Wants Candy presents Shamilton, the Hamilton inspired hit hip hop musical created in 2016 in UCB in LA, with resident show status at Chicago’s legendary Second City. Join the Shamilton cast as they improvise an epic musical, based on a historical figure of your choosing, from Genghis Khan to Winston Churchill to Kim Kardashian.
