It takes years for a Broadway musical to hit the stage, but on OFF BOOK: The Improvised Musical, you get a brand new original musical every show!
Jessica McKenna and Zach Reino create a completely improvised musical in an attempt to combat the notion that musicals should be “carefully crafted” or “thought out at all.”
Off Book: The Improvised Musical is a hilariously ad-libbed show based on the hit podcast where anything goes. This totally unscripted performance features actors, writers and musicians making up one-of-a-kind shows on the spot with suggestions from the audience.
Off Book will take to the stage at Dr Phillips Center's Alexis & Jim Pugh Theater on December 4, 2025.
Tickets are available now via Dr Phillips Center.
