When Porchlight combines forces with some of Chicago's hottest improvisers, audience participation and a bouncy piano beat, you get BEST MUSICAL! A Completely Improvised Musical Comedy! From a grab bag of audience-suggested titles, you see the cast create the Best Songs of the season right before your eyes in Act I. You cast your vote, grab a drink and come back for Act II to witness the cast create an entire original fully improvised musical comedy around that song! You won’t want to miss this always new hilarious musical concept.

Program note:
The two-act, five-song/one-musical format of Best Musical! was originally created by improviser Kat Koppett for a production called Spontaneous Broadway that premiered in 1995 in New York City. The format was slightly modified in 1999 for a show called The Next Big Broadway Musical! (co-conceived and music-directed by Best Musical's Matthew Loren Cohen), also produced in New York City and still running as Broadway's Next Hit Musical! Best Musical! is the Chicago premiere of that modified format.
