About Show
Show Details
Age Suitability
Tickets
Showstopper! The Improvised Musical is a completely improvised show which takes cues from the audience. It premiered in 2008 and has quickly become one of the most famous plays in its genre. The show has toured extensively in the UK before becoming a staple of London’s West End, where it sells out every year.
This unique concept was conceived at an improv comedy workshop that the creators Adam Meggido and Dylan Emery attended in London. The actors take suggestions from the audience who provide the show setting, title, and musicals whose style they then adopt.
The Story
The premise of this show is a musical writer on a deadline, that fortunately meets an imaginative audience! The writer needs your help. You get to throw your suggestions out for everything from setting, musical style, and even the title itself.
The Showstopper! cast and musical team then invent a brand new musical live in front of the audience, with rib-tickling characters, incredible dance numbers, and wacky storylines. You walk in with no idea what you will experience, and walk out having filled your belly with laughter, tears, and everything in between.
