With fifteen years of Edinburgh Fringe shows, a BBC Radio 4 series, a critically acclaimed West End run and an Olivier Award to their name, The Showstoppers have delighted audiences across the globe with their impressive blend of comedy, musical theatre and spontaneity.

Now they will perform a brand new musical comedy, which is created from scratch at each performance of this award-winning show, as audience suggestions are transformed on the spot into all-singing, all dancing productions with hilarious results.

In the show, the audience meets a writer of musicals who is on a deadline – he needs their help.

The audience shouts out suggestions of a setting, musical styles and the title of the show which is then transformed into a one-of-a-kind performance.
