Showstopper! comes to West End after Edinburgh

Award-winning improvised musical show Showstopper! will play its first West End run later this year with a ten-week engagement at the Apollo Theatre.

The show, which sees a team of performers create musicals based on audience suggestions, will run from 24 September to 29 November 2015.

According to press material:

Fast, funny and entertaining, the team nightly pull off something incredibly ambitious. They create a real musical from scratch, not just an impro night with songs but a full story with stories and characters you can care about, a live band of incredible musicians, and spontaneous but seamless choreography.

Previous improvised musicals from the team include Emotional Baggage, set at Heathrow, Sweeney Cod, a love story centring on an ambitious fish and chip shop owner, and even our own WhatsOnStage – The Musical.

Created by Adam Meggido and Dylan Emery, the show has been a staple of the Edinburgh Fringe for eight years; it's playing this year's festival until 30 August.
