Our West End residency has been reviewed by Time Out in a glowing four-star write-up which you can read in full here.
They said, “The West End’s going stale from a lack of fresh musicals, so it’s great that the team of indefatigable zanies behind ‘Showstopper!’ is bringing a new one every Tuesday for the next six weeks… the fact that this lot can do off-the-cuff comedy in six-part harmony is reason enough to applaud.”
The august organ that is Official London Theatre have written a glowing feature on last night’s second West End show, Bring Out Your Dead. Apparently, ‘I have never seen such an un-British display of enthusiasm for public participation in a musical.’ Read more here.
The Metro newspaper has given a great four-star review in today’s edition. Here’s an excerpt:
“Affectionately lampooning musical theatre, it’s a madcap experience as each performance is entirely fresh, you might just be tempted to go back again for another hit. As their Radio 4 series graces the airwaves, and improv is back in the limelight, the show will surely go on and on for Showstopper!”
