Broke City Cabaret
A pot luck of legit covers, original musical comedy pieces, and musical improv inspired by the Second City style of comedic musical improv. Broke City Cabaret brings you into a world of pure musical comedy, whether it’s an improvised power ballad about cheating exes, or letting our true Divas “sang” in a riff-tastic game of Diva Tag, or even assuming the role of a lounge singer in Karaoke Nightmare. It’s musical comedy to make you go oops upside your head, and then sing about it.
Show Format:
50 minute show comprised of a cornucopia of musical games, musical improv and original pieces. The show starts with an intro song that explains to the audience what they are getting themselves into. Mostly group numbers, sprinkled with some duos, solos, and trios.
