Award-winning improvised musical comedy created on the spot from audience suggestions, the Edinburgh Fringe show with an Olivier Award.
Showstopper! The Improvised Musical comes to the Belgrade Theatre on Thursday 11 February, 7.30pm. The whole thing is built on a simple premise: a brand new musical comedy is created from scratch at every performance, with audience suggestions turned on the spot into an all-singing, all-dancing production. Nothing is written down beforehand, so the story, the songs, and the dance numbers are all made up as they go.
It's a format the troupe has been refining for a long time. They spent sixteen years as an Edinburgh Fringe must-see, and since then the show has gathered a BBC Radio 4 series, a critically acclaimed West End run, and an Olivier Award. The reviews have been strong: the Daily Telegraph called it 'so polished, it defies belief', The Times wrote 'if this is what improv can do, you wonder why anyone bothers writing anything down', and Time Out described it as 'achingly funny'.
