Showstopper at Christmas!

Thu 10 Dec 2026 - Sun 20 Dec 2026

Showstopper! The Improvised Musical

Spontaneous musical comedy at its absolute finest- the Olivier Award-winning West End smash hit is returning to the Lowry for Christmas! 

The Showstoppers improvise a hilarious new musical every night, entirely created from audience suggestions. 

All the dazzling dance routines, catchy melodies and festive magic you'd expect from a West End musical at Christmas, except the cast and live band make it up on the spot! 

The mind-blowing, must-see phenomenon, as heard on BBC Radio 4, has been an Edinburgh Festival Fringe sensation for 16 years- and with over 1,5000 hilarious made-up musicals to their name, The Showstoppers never perform the same show twice. 

Get your Christmas off to a joyful and triumphant start with Showstopper! The Improvised Musical!
