About Impromptunes
Impromptunes – The Completely Improvised Musical is exactly what it promises: audiences suggest a title, and within seconds the curtains open on a brand-new musical created for the first, last and only time. Everything is made up on the spot by Australia's finest improvisers, delivering hijinks, harmonies and hilarity with no rehearsal and no script. The show is performed by the semi-professional company Impromptunes, runs for 60 minutes, and is suitable for audiences aged 8 and over.
Why see this show?
The joy of Impromptunes is the genuine uncertainty — no one on stage or in the audience knows what is coming next, and that shared tension is what makes it special. An accessible, high-energy show that works brilliantly for mixed groups and families.
