I attended their performance in Harker school in San Jose (where they performed with a group of students). The first half of the program was devoted to improv games. The second half was an improvised musical based on audience suggestion.

The first part was actually pretty good. Perhaps a bit prolonged on some of the games, but mostly due to giving all the students a chance to take part, which is understandable.

The second part was unfortunately a flop. I think it had everything to do with a poor selection of of the musical subject: Presidents on Jeopardy. It wasn't funny. Perhaps "Baby Wants Candy" is actually a great improv group, but I had no opportunity to witness that for myself.
