Cupid Players present the longest running sketch comedy show in Chicago

top reasons Cupid in your Pants is a must-see this Valentine's Day:

Music:
The Cupid Players serenade audience members with their catchy songs
featuring a witty take on relationships, love and life.
Price: Nothing beats the $35 price tag which includes the show, a Goodie "V-Bag" and a champagne toast
No awkward silences: You'll be laughing the entire show so no need to worry about those awkward date-night moments

Cupid
Has A Heart On: A Musical Guide to Relationships has been named a
"must-see" by Time Out Chicago and feted as "full of wit and zest" by
the Chicago Tribune.  Backed by a lively pianist, the comic musical
performers of The Cupid Players perform songs and scenes developed by
the cast under the direction of Posen. The production's sketches combine
sharp writing and catchy songs with a witty take on relationships, love
and life. The result is a musical sketch show that is raunchy, sweet,
cynical, touching, smart, inane and - above all - very, very funny.
