(WEEK COMMENCING 3rd APRIL)
SHOWSTOPPER! THE IMPROVISED MUSICAL
SHOWSTOPPER! The Improvised Musical is returning to the West End. The hit show will be moving to The Cambridge Theatre, which is currently the home of MATILDA THE MUSICAL, from the 22nd of May. This is following the show’s previous residency at The Lyric Theatre.
SHOWSTOPPER! First started in 2008 and since then has played over 1200 shows. The musical is completely improvised on the spot from audience suggestions meaning that no 2 shows are ever the same. It is the first-ever long-form improv show to have a full West End run and has also been nominated for an Olivier Award.
