Asheville Improv Festival Featuring Baby Wants Candy Performing Shamilton! An Improvised Hip-Hop Musical
Saturday, May 09
Show: 9:30 pm | Doors: 9 pm

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 on the spot!

Studded with 5-star reviews at the 2025 Edinburgh Fringe, followed by packed houses and more rave reviews on a UK tour, Shamilton! An Improvised Hip-Hop Musical has been wowing audiences the world over. Featuring the top improvisors, rappers and musicians in Chicago, Shamilton thrills audiences with completely unchoreographed choreography, unrehearsed hip hop delights and hilarious spontaneous storytelling in a show that often opens nightly to endless queues and closes to standing ovations.

Once a historical figure/celebrity has been suggested by the audience, the whip-smart cast and phenomenal band The Shamiltones entirely improvise an epic musical; the songs, the dialogue, the plot… even the choreography! Every night is a new musical; tonight it could be Guy Fieri, tomorrow Kamala Harris, the day after basketball playing superdog Air Bud.

This smash hit phenomenon will make you “talk less. Smile more”. Don’t miss your shot… to see Shamilton!

Opening will be local narrative improv theatre company, Adesto Theatre — featuring Laurie Jones and Paul Vonasek!
