Showstopper! The Improvised Musical

Showstopper! The Improvised Musical is a fully-realized musical created live from audience suggestions. It includes moving storylines, amazing songs, full group harmonies, dance numbers. It’s also very funny to watch. The Showstoppers have been working on the show since 2008, figuring out how to improvise in increasingly esoteric styles, musical, dance, straight theatre, and film genres to name but a few.

In the Autumn of 2015, it became the first longform improve show to have a full run in the West End at the Apollo Theatre. Then in April 2016, the show became the first improv show ever to be nominated, and subsequently win, an Olivier Award (Best Entertainment and Family Show). It has since been at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe for the past 12 years, had a 12-week run at London’s Other Palace in early 2019 and continues to play monthly at the Lyric Theatre in London’s West End.
