True Crime the Musical (in NYC)
-We’ll improvise a musical of the events leading up to the crime based on audience suggestions – this murder is not premeditated.
-True Crime the Musical was created and is performed by Beautiful Dreamers Comedy (Jillian Vitko and Maggie Lalley). This one-of-a-kind show uses audience suggestions of victim, location, and murder weapon. From there, they improvise a musical right before your eyes to get to the bottom of this never-before-seen and never-to-be-seen again murder case. The show opened at The People’s Improv Theatre in 2017, and recently completed a three and a half year run at The Players Theatre. It’s been performed all over the country at various comedy festivals.
