iMusical
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"iMusical" or "iMusical: The Improvised Musical!", is one of the premiere shows under regular production by Washington Improv Theater. Created by Travis Ploeger (I eat pandas) in October of 2006, this audience and critical favorite regularly performs at Flashpoint in Washington, DC. At some point in 2008, they will begin performing in the Source Theater, along with the other WIT productions.
iMusical is an improvised musical, in which the cast of singing improvisers create all of the scenes and songs on-the-spot based on audience suggestion. They have performed to standing ovations at the Baltimore Improv Festival and the Del Close Marathon (Upright Citizens Brigade Theater), and recently did a performance at the Kennedy Center. The Washington Post called the show "amusing," and "spot on," and gives it a coveted "star" recommendation when listed.[1] They are also a favorite of the DC Theater Scene site.[2]
