You Could Win Tickets to See the Pasadena Playhouse Production, ‘Freestyle Love Supreme’

“Freestyle Love Supreme,” an improvisational hip-hop comedy musical show started by Lin-Manuel Miranda (yes, the creator of ‘Hamilton’)and Anthony Veneziale in 2004, is coming to Pasadena Playhouse next week, Tuesday through Sunday, July 12 to August 7.

You could win a pair of tickets to the show if you enter Pasadena Playhouse’s “Freestyle Love Supreme” Sweepstakes, which the producers are hosting with TV station KTLA.

“Freestyle Love Supreme” is a completely improvised hip-hop musical, which means every single night will be a totally different show. It’s also the name of the group that started the show in 2004. The cast first encourages suggestions from the audience, and then the Freestyle Love Supreme cast crafts a completely unique show right in front of the audience. There are no scripts, and there definitely is no time to brainstorm on how the show would run, and no time at all to rehearse!

The cast itself could be a surprise, since it may include at least three or a few of the original members, plus a few surprise performers, depending on where the show is being held.

The show basically takes a group of freestyle, hip hop rappers, a band on stage, and the audience,” Pasadena Playhouse Artistic Director Danny Feldman said last year as they were expecting to schedule a Freestyle Love Supreme appearance. “Everything is made up as it goes along. It’s improvisational. It is different every night. There are different guests that come. It is a wild, fun night that truly redefined what a play can be, what a musical can be.”

Pasadena Playhouse is the LA home for the show, Feldman said.

It’s created in the moment with the audience’s help every single night. And doesn’t get much more live or contemporary or relevant than that. And it is joyful and hopeful and a party,” he said.
