Why It's Wild
Waa-Mu is Northwestern's oldest undergraduate theatre tradition. It began in 1929 when the Women’s Athletic Association (W.A.A.) worked with the Men’s Union (M.U.) to perform student-written material. The show was traditionally a musical revue of Northwestern-inspired vignettes tied together by a theme, which eventually evolved into full-length musical. Today over 150 students participate every year as producers, writers, and performers in the creation of an original musical. Past famous cast members include Warren Beatty and Garry Marshall in the 1950s; Ann-Margret in the 1960s; Megan Mullally in the 1980s; and Zach Braff, Brian d'Arcy James, and Heather Headley in the 1990s.
