The ONE and only longest running musical sketch comedy show in Chicago

Cupid Has A Heart On: A Musical Guide to Relationships has been named a "must-see" by Time Out Chicago and feted as "full of wit and zest" by the Chicago Tribune. Backed by a lively pianist, the comic musical performers of The Cupid Players perform songs and scenes developed by the cast under the direction of Posen. The production's sketches combine sharp writing and catchy songs with a witty take on relationships, love and life. The result is a musical sketch show that is raunchy, sweet, cynical, touching, smart, inane and - above all - very, very funny.

All performances take place at Chicago's home for the city's most innovative, creative and passionate off-Loop performing artists, Stage 773, located at 1225 W. Belmont.
