Olivier Award-winning Showstopper! The Improvised Musical is coming to Worthing.

Showstopper! The Improvised Musical will be performed at the Pavilion Theatre on Thursday, June 4 at 7.30pm.

The production broke new ground as the first-ever improv show to win an Olivier Award, enjoying continued run in London's West End, and an extra tour scheduled until July 2026.

Each night, the show takes on a unique form based on audience suggestions for genres, settings and titles.

From locations as mundane as a mattress shop to as historically intriguing as Ancient Egypt, the cast has danced, sang and acted through a wide range of narratives and character arcs.

And with the audience always challenging them, there is never a shortage of entertaining surprises.

During a recent performance in London, Ted Lasso star Hannah Waddingham surprised the audience, and the company, at the end of the show by presenting the cast with a Happy 1,500th Show cake on stage after the bows.

For fans who cannot catch this show in Worthing, Showstopper! The Improvised Musical will continue its West End run, with tickets now available online.

The Showstoppers also regularly run improvisation workshops and courses for beginners and professionals and have a successful podcast - The Showstopper! Podcast, with recent guests including Zizi Strallen, Rufus Hound and Reuben Kaye.
