SHOWSTOPPER! The Improvised Musical
2016 Olivier Award Winners – Best Entertainment and Family Show.
Spontaneous musical comedy at its finest – direct from the West End and now heading to the Mercury Theatre!
With nine years as an Edinburgh Fringe must-see phenomenon, a BBC Radio 4 Series and now a critically acclaimed West End run at London’s Apollo Theatre AND an Olivier Award to their name, The Showstoppers have delighted audiences across the globe with their ingenious blend of comedy, musical theatre and spontaneity.
A brand new musical comedy is created from scratch at each performance of this award-winning show as audience suggestions are transformed on-the-spot into an all-singing, all-dancing production with unpredictable and hilarious results.
So whether you fancy Sondheim on a ski lift or Cole Porter in Poundland – you suggest it and the Showstoppers will sing it!
