From start to finish an amazing and interactive performance. Such a talented cast that made me laugh all the way through. Loved how intimate the theatre was, impressed with cleanliness, food and drink.

This is the third time I have seen showstopper! and everytime it has been, creative, funny, highly entertaining and unique. Very clever with a lot of (optional) audience interaction - you can influence the set, music and even the plot. Although the concept is weird: to buy a ticket for a musical having not listened to the soundtrack, seen a trailer or read the book. But it's certainly a risk worth taking.

This was my second visit to see showstopper. The first one, Noah’s Ark, was hilarious. I enjoyed it so much I went back but unfortunately with a different cast I was disappointed this time. Lots of repeated chorus lines.

Never the same show twice... It will start with your Narrator (although I'm not sure that's the right name for him), taking a call from, 'Cameron'. Before you know it, it's clear a new show is needed and it will only happen with your help. He has two hours to prep the show. He asks the audience a range of questions, from overall topic/theme, to suggestions of (4) musicals for inspiration/style, and show title. After a bit of back and forth the show is underway. Every now and then the Narrator will stand, the lights on the cast dim, and action pauses. He may just ask the cast to change direction, or use a particular musical style, or he may throw it to the audience for our input. It's a wonderful concept, the cast last night were fantastic and it's just very funny, and very entertaining. The greater your love of musicals the more you'll get from it with all of the nods to Musicals down the years, but I'd recommend it to anyone.

What a wonderful show. Lots of audience participation led to the musical evolving before our very eyes. This troop of actors are very talented, as are the musicians. Go see it as many time as you like as you get a different show every time.

I was lucky enough to see Showstopper! The Improvised Musical yesterday evening (or as we called it: Frozen!) and I’m completely blown away by the amount of talent the actors have. Being able to produce such a fun show and incredible good songs from scratch is something that earns nothing but respect. I literally laughed throughout the whole show. I will definitely visit again!

Absolutely wonderful. An exceptionally talented cast and band produced a great afternoon based on the audience suggestions of topics ranging from dragons, motown, gregorian chant to Cabaret .It was hilarious, inspiring and they managed to throw in some morals and even a decent love story. Went away feeling this was a special performance.

The show was incredible, very different from your typical musical or theatre show - felt very personal and inspiring to be a part of. Will definitely try to see another round, which is not usual for a theatre show.. So entertaining!

My 14 year old grand-daughter and I were delighted with Saturday matinee's show. We are still discussing just how it was all pulled off. Improvisation is a marvellous thing and this cast do it to perfection. There are laughs a-plenty and continuing surprise over what will happen next. We can't wait to do it all again (although it will be different next time!)

I had one night to spend in London! I am traveling from the states to Amsterdam and decided to spend time in London with a friend. This was my only free night. I could of saw Wicked or Hamilton, maybe even the Lion King. It is so much cheaper here than back home. But I decided to be adventurous. I was not dissapointed!!! I laughed (probably the loudest in the theatre). I laughed in tears. The storytelling singing and dancing was all so amazing. And I got to be witness a special thing that will never happen again. Thank you showstoppers!
