Get yourself along to "the room where it happens!"
Renowned improvisers and musical comedy troupe Baby Wants Candy are back at the Edinburgh Fringe with their show Shamilton! The Improvised Hip Hop Musical.
If you’re familiar with the group’s work, you’ll know the deal. This show is inspired by the musical genius Lin Manuel Miranda’s Hamilton, but the difference is, the performers ask the audience for a celebrity or cultural figure that they then have to tell their life story, in the form of a hip hop musical.
What follows is an hour of mesmerising musical theatre performers with superfast thinking and improv skills, vocals and dance moves that impress, and comedic chops that had the audience in stitches, all helped along by the talented musicians.
Calling all musical theatre fans, get yourself along to “the room where it happens” for an entertaining afternoon at Shamilton! The Improvised Hip Hop Musical.

EDINBURGH FESTIVAL FRINGE
For three weeks in August, the city of Edinburgh welcomes an explosion of creative energy from around the globe. Artists and performers take to hundreds of stages all over the city, presenting shows for every taste. Venues can be anywhere, from existing theatres and concert halls to repurposed spaces like bars, parks, buses and shipping containers. The Fringe street events bring colour, excitement and vibrancy to outdoor areas, free of charge.
From big names in the world of entertainment to unknown artists looking to build their careers, the festival spans every genre of live performance, including theatre, comedy, dance, physical theatre, circus, cabaret, children's shows, musicals, opera, music, spoken word, exhibitions and events.
The Edinburgh Festival Fringe Society, a registered charity, is the company that organises the structure that underpins the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. The level of commitment required for such an undertaking would not be possible if it weren’t for the enthusiasm of the people of Edinburgh, combined with the longstanding support of our audiences, sponsors, supporters and the goodwill of the Fringe Friends and Angels.
The Fringe Society strives to provide support that exceeds participant and public expectations, and we ask you to join us in supporting this challenge. Every penny you give makes a difference, helping us to develop the services we provide for performers and audience.
There are a number of ways of supporting the Edinburgh Festival Fringe Society, from one-off donations to becoming a Fringe Friend.
