OPENING NIGHT: THE IMPROVISED MUSICAL!® is exactly that: a Broadway-style musical that is made up on the spot, based on audience suggestion. So every night is the `Opening Night’ of a musical that has never been seen! Now in its sixteenth year, Opening Night: The Improvised Musical!® is thrilled to continue 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: The Improvised Musical!'s cast combines the Chicago-style improvisation of the iO and The Second City with the Broadway stylings of Rogers & Hammerstein, Gilbert & Sullivan, Andrew Lloyd Webber, Bob Fosse, and many more!

iO West (formerly known as the “Improv Olympic West”), the Los Angeles arm of the world-famous iO in Chicago, presents the best improvisation west of the Windy City. In addition to shows every night, iO West offers the finest improv training in Los Angeles.

Tickets are valid for any performance of the show, which runs every Friday at 9:00 p.m. on an ongoing basis.

Come back again and again – you’ll laugh every time. – Ann Hall, LA Weekly

There’s something wildly inspiring about the show’s promise of rebirth, of knowing that something will be made of nothing, that characters will “come alive” (and die) – and that a whole new cast of protagonists and villains will take their place a week later. – Michael Konik
