Some might think that we ran out of ideas for this show, but we like to think that it gave us a to of ideas to fit into this performance. TONIK (_____) TAP
​allowed us to 'fill in the blank' as to what sort of show we wanted to put on. We think it turned out (great). (2012)

TONIK Tap’s first solo fall show, Tonik Tweets, was a short, sweet specTAPular one. Audience members could “tweet” during the show (#TONIKTweets) and their thoughts would appear on the big screen between numbers. It turns out that TONIK’s audiences are both hilarious and tech savvy. (2011)

​TONIK TAP and X-Fatcors A Cappella got "Lost" on a deserted stage at Northwestern University. The show featured a rousing rendition of "Kumbaya" and parodies of the hit TV show, "LOST." Our favorite highlight from the show: Harry Potter Puppet Pals. (2010)

We already knew that America had TONIK, but it was time to share it with the world! It turns out many reality shows could use a little TONIK flavor, so we sprinkled a little tappiness on all of them in America’s Got TONIK. (2010)
Much like the name of this event implies, this show revolved around pieces from the musical "West Side Story." We collaborated with "X-Factors A Capella" to have a tap-filled, musical theatre extravaganza with Northwestern Side Story!

This show was all about the pursuit of life, liberty, and rythm. It was focused on the Constitutional right to The Pursuit of "Tappyness." One number even showed a sort of 'protest' that revovled around the freedom of spreading "Tappyness" to everyone we meet. (2008)
