The Showstoppers' Family Hour

When I went to see the show I was very excited! I had read the flyer and thought it would be fun.

This show is an improvised musical for all ages. The stage was small and it had six actors on it when we arrived—4 men and 2 women—who were singing as you took your seat. 

The audience get to choose all the details of the story. The theme chosen was 'In Space'. "Welcome Aboard" was the first song and we then chose a hero for the story. He was The Keyboard Man aka Admiral Akbar. The next character we chose was a visitor from another planet who was Horse Head Lady. They fall in love and so the story continues with the characters being very funny and going on an extremely big adventure. They make up all songs as they go along!

It was a good show because lots of kids got to join in and the actors made it really funny. It was enjoyable because they did really silly things like using cardboard boxes as props, things like space helmets and space ship screens. 

The only improvement would have been to have more props on stage to improvise with but I would recommend The Showstoppers to my friends.
