The ONE and only longest running musical sketch comedy show in Chicago

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.

All performances
take place at Chicago’s home for the city’s most innovative, creative and
passionate off-Loop performing artists, Stage 773, located at 1225 W.

Comedy Festival, Chicago Women’s Comedy Festival, Street Tempo Theatre and
