Book NowAbout the show
Showstopper! The Improvised Musical is the West End hit that won the Olivier Award, returning to Edinburgh each year. Every performance is a brand new musical built entirely from audience suggestions on the night — the writer hasn't written a note. Presented by Showstoppers Productions and Suzanna Rosenthal Productions, the company has now been at the Fringe for sixteen years. The show runs for 70 minutes at the Grand and is suitable for audiences aged 12 and over.
Why see this show?
No two performances are ever the same — every night is opening night. Sixteen years of Fringe appearances have made this a genuine institution, and the proof is how consistently it delights audiences who come back year after year.
