About the show

You suggest it, they sing it! The Olivier Award-winning Showstoppers return to the West End at the Cambridge Theatre for a residency of one-night-only musical extravaganzas. Whether you fancy Sondheim in the Sahara or Hamilton in a hospital, this incredible company creates a brand new musical live before your eyes. 'So polished, it defies belief' (Daily Telegraph).

您建议内容,他们立即演唱!屡获殊荣的奥利弗奖得主Showstoppers即将重返西区,在剑桥剧院开启一场仅此一夜的音乐剧盛宴。不论您是想看沙漠中的桑德海姆,还是医院里的汉密尔顿,这个令人惊叹的剧团将在您面前即兴创作出全新的音乐剧作品。“如此精湛,让人难以置信”(《每日电讯报》)。 《Showstopper!》就是它所说的 – 一场完全即兴的音乐剧现场演绎。一个音乐剧作家需要你的帮助:他被要求制作一部全新的剧目,但他已经灵感枯竭。观众提供有关场景、标题和音乐风格的建议,演员们将其转化为一个完整的音乐剧,其中包括歌曲、舞蹈和引人入胜的故事情节。每个夜晚都是首演! 在演出开始时,观众会喊出各种建议。这些可能包括一个地点(潜水艇!面包店!),一个时间段(1920年代!未来!),音乐风格(劳埃德·韦伯!桑德海姆!《汉密尔顿》!),甚至还有一个标题。演员们随后在现场即兴创作整个音乐剧,乐队为每一首即兴歌伴奏。没有任何预先计划 – 这就是纯粹的戏剧魔力。 绝对不是!这就是重点。每场演出都是完全独特的,不可复制。从《性、药物与香肠卷》到《手术台上的幽灵》,观众在该剧13年的历史中见证了成千上万的即兴音乐剧。如果你看了两次,你会看到两个完全不同的节目。 尽管戏剧爱好者会欣赏巧妙的模仿和特定类型的笑话,但该剧对所有人来说都是滑稽和有趣的。演出者在创造易于接触、滑稽且出人意料感人的故事方面技艺超群,无论你对音乐剧的了解如何。 《即兴音乐剧》建议12岁及以上观众观看。4岁以下的儿童(包括怀抱婴儿)将不能进入剑桥剧院。16岁以下的观众必须由18岁或以上的成年人陪同。请注意,由于该剧是即兴表演,偶尔可能会有成人内容。 可以!观众参与是《即兴演出秀》的重要部分。在节目开始时,我们会鼓励您大声提出建议。不要害羞——您的创意越是丰富,节目就会越有趣! 《剧集终结者》演员阵容包括乔纳森·安斯库(Jonathan Ainscough)、露丝·布拉特(Ruth Bratt)、贾斯汀·布雷特(Justin Brett)、马特·卡文迪什(Matt Cavendish)、迪伦·埃默里(Dylan Emery)和皮帕·埃文斯(Pippa Evans),等等。现场乐队的乐手包括皮特·弗尼斯(Pete Furniss)、内森·格雷戈里(Nathan Gregory)、凯利·霍格(Calie Hough)、和邓肯·沃尔什·阿特金斯(Duncan Walsh Atkins)。演员阵容因表演而异。 《剧集终结者》是由亚当·梅吉多(Adam Meggido)和迪伦·埃默里(Dylan Emery)构思的,他们在伦敦的一次即兴喜剧工作坊中相识。该剧于2008年首演,从爱丁堡艺穗节的热门节目发展为奥利弗奖得主。制作团队包括迪伦·埃默里(Dylan Emery)、亚当·梅吉多(Adam Meggido)、基思·斯特拉坎(Keith Strachan)、苏珊娜·罗森塔尔(Suzanna Rosenthal)、和瑞安农·莫里斯(Rhiannon Morris)。 《Showstopper!》赢得了奥利弗奖的最佳娱乐和家庭表演奖。经过13年的爱丁堡节必看节目、一系列BBC Radio 4节目,以及备受赞誉的西区演出,《Showstopper!》已经成了即兴音乐剧的大师。 每晚的表演都是100%即兴的。演职人员完全不知道他们将在观众提供建议后创作什么。这种体验真的令人惊叹。 《惊艳剧团!》在剑桥剧院,伦敦柯芬园附近的七道街,厄尔汉姆街32-34号,邮编WC2H 9HU上演。最近的地铁站是科芬园站。 《惊艳剧团!》在特定的星期一晚上7:30演出。请查看预订日历以确认具体日期,因为并不是每个星期一都有演出。 苏荷区,唐人街(Q Park 方案)。NCP 沃德街,新港广场,丹曼街,列克星敦街。MasterPark 波兰街,唐人街。
