Opening Night: The Improvised Musical
OPENING NIGHT: THE IMPROVISED MUSICAL is exactly that, a Broadway-style musical that is made up on the spot, based on audience suggestion. Therefore, every night is the `Opening Night’ of a musical that has never been seen! Now in it’s TENTH YEAR, Opening Night is thrilled to continue as the show LAWeekly called, “almost too slick to be completely improvised”. It is, by the way—completely improvised.
Led by director Shulie Cowen, Opening Night’s cast combines the Chicago-style improvisation of the iO and Second City with the Broadway stylings of Rodgers & Hammerstein, Gilbert & Sullivan, Andrew Lloyd Webber, Bob Fosse, and Edith Head. Occasionally, they also borrow the helicopter from Ms. Saigon. They usually give it back.
