An improvised musical show for kids of all ages, from Olivier Award-winning West End improvisers, The Showstoppers. If your children could create their very own dream musical – where would they start?

Together we’ll explore magical kingdoms as kids decide where the story is set, who the characters are and what happens next. Shaun the Sheep meets Dora at a magic castle? Done! Peppa Pig and Spiderman explore a spooky graveyard? No problem! PAW Patrol battle monsters under the sea? Of course! From their imaginations to the stage – everything is made up on the spot entirely from audience suggestions, but grown-ups take heed: we ONLY take suggestions from kids!
