There really is no stopping The Showstoppers. The Olivier Award-winning improv masters will celebrate 1000 performances in the new year by moving into The Other Palace for eight weeks of premiering a new musical every single night (and twice on Fridays and Saturdays)... while also continuing their regular Monday forays on Shaftesbury Avenue.
SHOWSTOPPER! The Improvised Musical will play a strictly limited eight-week run season The Other Palace from 22 January to 16 March 2019, delivering eight brand-new, completely spontaneous musicals every week, alongside their regular monthly performances in the West End’s Lyric Theatre, Shaftesbury Avenue. During the run, the company will celebrate their 1000th unique, one-of-a-kind performance.
With eleven years as an Edinburgh Festival must-see phenomenon, a critically acclaimed West End run and the Olivier Award for Best Entertainment and Family Show to their name, The Showstoppers have blazed a trail in world-class improvised musical comedy and delighted audiences across the globe.
Transforming audience suggestions - for setting, musical styles, show title and more - into all-singing, all-dancing productions with hilarious results, The Showstoppers guarantee audiences an entirely different show every single night as each performance is a brand-new musical West End hit waiting to happen.
At The Other Palace 100 tickets are available at every show for £25 or under.
At the Lyric Theatre 300 tickets are available at every show for £25 or under.
SHOWSTOPPER! The Improvised Musical is produced at The Other Palace by Showstopper Productions, Suzanna Rosenthal Ltd and Julie Clare Productions, by arrangement with James Seabright and Julius Green for Showstopper London Ltd.
About Showstopper!
The show began life in 2008 as a workshop at the Actors’ Centre in London, when Dylan Emery, Adam Meggido and the late-greater master improviser Ken Campbell took a group of actors with little or no improvisation experience and within a week attempted to get them to perform an hour-long extemporised musical in front of a packed house.
This was such a success that Dylan and Adam decided to gather together a group of professionals and create a fully-fledged show. For eleven consecutive years, The Showstoppers have played the Edinburgh Festival Fringe and have now made their home there in the 750-seat Pleasance Grand. They have received high acclaim for their performances and awards
In autumn 2015, SHOWSTOPPER! The Improvised Musical became the first long-form improv show to have a full run in the West End at the Apollo Theatre. Then in April 2016, the show became the first improv show ever to be nominated, and subsequently win, an Olivier Award.
SHOWSTOPPER! The Improvised Musical runs 22 January to 16 March 2019 at The Other Palace, 12 Palace Street, London SW1E 5JA. Performances are Mondays to Thursdays at 7.30pm, Fridays at 5.30pm and 8.30pm, Saturdays at 2.30pm and 7.30pm. Tickets are priced £20-£50. CLICK HERE TO PURCHASE!
