The Waa-Mu Show; /wɒˈmuː/ wah-mew; is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization at Northwestern University that produces student written, orchestrated, produced, and performed original musical theatre work every year. The song lyrics, script, and music are developed in a series of classes. It is Northwestern's longest-standing theatrical tradition and is held on campus in Cahn Auditorium. This tradition began as a musical revue, showcasing several different student-written Northwestern-inspired vignettes connected by a single theme. By 2013, the Waa-Mu show evolved into an original full-length musical.
