REVIEW: Showstoppers! The improvised musical


Rating: 5 out of 5.

100% improvised- purely random. A world of endless possibilities and unmissable fun

Olivier award winning Showstoppers! The improvised musical takes improvisation to another level when they apply it to the medium of musical theatre. With a vocally superb cast and great camaraderie the production manages – incredibly!- to produce a new musical every night. The vocal range and inventiveness of the cast and crew seems limitless it makes one want to see it every night for the entire festival to see what unfolds each night and how creative our fringe cohort can be. Special mention to the casts MC for energising the audience before and shortlisting a great range of musicals to utilise in the story and the band as they manage to accompany performances beautifully without knowing what the cast will create on the spot. Last night the audience experienced an incredible journey through IKEA after dark as the cast were challenged to write a musical based on a hide and seek adventure in IKEA after it closes. The story included plot twists and interesting blossoming romances with hilarious IKEA references throughout. Who knows were tonight and the remaining nights this show will take its audience.

Showstoppers! The improvised musical is incredibly entertaining and one for all the family to enjoy so get along quick before you miss out!

Showstoppers! The improvised musical runs 30th July – 24th August.
