Showstopper on Radio 4
Blog posted:19 January 2011
Showstopper! The Improvised Musical is, unsuprisingly, an improvised musical – a new show is created from scratch at every performance using suggestions from the audience. The results are dazzling dance routines, catchy tunes and much unpredictable hilarity.
The show has been phenomenally popular at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, and has held several London theatre residencies both on and off the West End. Here’s what Time Out had to say -
“Having now seen Showstopper! twice, I can testify that not only is each performance achingly funny, it’s a genuinely new full-length musical every time. Top-class in creativity in action. Worth seeing again and again.” ***** Time Out
And now you can preview the work of the Showstopper troupe weekly with their new show on BBC Radio 4, starting tonight (Weds 19 January) at 6.30pm. Listen to the show and enjoy a brand new comedy musical every Wednesday, then check them out live at the Playhouse!
