Up Comedy Club to Present Porchlight's BEST MUSICAL! A COMPLETELY IMPROVISED MUSICAL COMEDY
UP Comedy Club has announced its remount of Porchlight Music Theatre's smash hit, BEST MUSICAL! A Completely Improvised Musical Comedy. BEST MUSICAL! was developed in "Off the Porch" Porchlight Music Theatre's new works development program. BEST MUSICAL! will run October 2 - November 6, 2013 at the UP Comedy Club, located at 230 W. North Ave., 3rd Floor of Pipers Alley.
Joining creator and returning music director, Matthew Loren Cohen and current cast members Joey Bland, Lauren Dowden and Matthew Van Colton are new cast members Brendan Dowling, Mitchell Fain, Sarah Hoffman, Andrew Knox and Sarah Reule.
The audience suggests the song titles, then watches the cast create hit after show-stopping, high-kicking musical hit in Act I based off of their suggestions. Votes are cast for "Best Song" and the cast returns for Act II with a fully improvised and hilarious musical comedy (complete with costumes & choreography) around the very song the audience selected.
BEST MUSICAL! is 2 hours with a brief intermission; suggested rating is PG-13. Showing every Wednesday at 8p.m., tickets are $20. Tickets for the UP Comedy Club can be purchased over the phone at (312) 662-4562 or online at www.upcomedyclub.com
