The incredible ‘Showstopper! The Improvised Musical’ has confirmed their dates for 2024 – these include their continued monthly residency in the West End at the Cambridge Theatre, plus a host of dates across the country that include Salford, York and Liverpool.

Spontaneous musical comedy at its finest, this is the first ever long-form improv show to have a full West End run and to be nominated and win an Olivier Award! Completely improvised and genuinely entirely different every night, this is a must-see show!

For those who haven’t yet experienced the live phenomenon that is ‘Showstopper! The Improvised Musical’, the show is a fully realised musical created on the spot from audience suggestions. The cast transform suggestions for settings, genres, musical styles and even the name of the show into ingenious storylines with hilarious characters. From Lin Manuel Miranda to Stephen Sondheim, via a primary school, Ancient Egypt, or a mattress shop – if the audience can suggest it, The Showstoppers will perform it. It’s hugely funny to watch.

KIDS*** If your children could create their very own dream musical – where would they start? The Showstoppers’ Kids Show takes kids’ ideas and turns them into marvellous, musical adventures from scratch, in front of their very noses. Together they explore magical kingdoms as kids decide where the story is set, what happens next and who the characters are.
