SUMMARY:Showstopper! The Improvised Musical
DESCRIPTION:The incredible ‘Showstopper! The Improvised Musical has extended its residency in the West End at the Cambridge Theatre for the third year\, with new dates added throughout 2025! \nSpontaneous musical comedy at its finest\, this is the first-ever long-form improv show to have an entire West End run and to be nominated and win an Olivier Award! This is a must-see show\, completely improvised and entirely different every night! \nFor those who haven’t yet experienced the live phenomenon\, ‘ Showstopper! The Improvised Musical\, the show is a fully realised musical created on the spot from audience suggestions. The cast transforms suggestions for settings\, genres\, musical styles and even the show’s name 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. \nThe majority of the cast also have much acclaim\, with founder member Ruth Bratt being part of the famous Comedy Store Players\, the longest-running impro show in the country; Pippa Evan\,s being a regular on BBC Radio 4\, has toured with I’m Sorry I Haven’t a Clue and wrote ‘Now That’s What I Call A Musical!’ (that’s currently on UK tour). The pilot of Hopping\, a new comedy from Lucy Trodd and Susan Harrison\, aired on BBC Radio 4\, and Matt Cavendish appeared on this year’s Royal Variety Performance with Mischief Theatre’s ‘A Comedy About Spies’.  Co-founder Adam Meggido directed the West End and Broadway hit show Peter Pan Goes Wrong. The incredibly talented West End star Miracle Chance (Roald Dahl’s The Witches at the National Theatre\, Veronica Sawyer in Heathers at The Other Palace) has just joined the cast. \nThe Showstoppers also regularly run improvisation workshops and courses for beginners and professionals and have a successful podcast – The Showstopper! Podcast\, with recent guests including Zizi Strallen\, Rufus Hound and Reuben Kaye. \nIn the Autumn of 2015\, Showstopper! The Improvised Musical became the first long-form improv show to have an entire run in the West End at the Apollo Theatre and continues to play monthly at the Cambridge in London’s West End. In 2024\, they were in the Top 10 best-reviewed shows of the entire Edinburgh Fringe – for the second year running – no mean feat in their 15th year selling out the Pleasance Grand once more!
