The Showstoppers

One of the last West End shows to be cancelled before lockdown in March, The Showstoppers turned their final performance at the Lyric Theatre into an impromptu online live stream event, which has since been viewed more than 112,000 times.

During lockdown The Showstoppers have been keeping their fans entertained with live streams - some of the only new musicals to be created and broadcast during this time! - online kids shows and bespoke songs - written and recorded in 24 hours - following online challenges from global celebrities including Elaine Paige, Ramin Karimloo and Derren Brown.

Now The Showstoppers are storming back to the West End to take up a (socially distanced) four-month residence at the Garrick Theatre.

‘Showstopper! The Improvised Musical’, will play six Mondays at the Garrick Theatre, on 16 & 30 November, 7 December 2020, 11 January, 8 & 22 February 2021. Tickets are now sale.
