Showstopper! The Improvised Musical has extended its run at the prestigious Cambridge Theatre in the West End into 2024 starting on 22 January.

This follows a record-breaking run at Edinburgh Fringe Festival, where they were in the Top 5 best reviewed comedy shows (out of nearly 2,000) and named Playbill’s Pick of the Fringe.

The show is spontaneous musical comedy at its finest. It 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.

For those that haven’t yet experienced the live phenomenon that is Showstopper! The Improvised Musical, it is a fully-realised musical created live on the spot from audience suggestions. The cast transform audience suggestions of setting, genre and style with ingenious storylines and hilarious characters. The audience also name that night’s show, which is added to The Showstoppers’ archive. From Lin Manuel Miranda to Stephen Sondheim, via a school, Ancient Egypt or a mattress shop – if the audience can suggest it, The Showstoppers will perform it. It’s hugely funny to watch.

Tickets go on sale to LW priority bookers tomorrow (5 October) at 10am and on general sale from 6 October at 10am here.
