Such an impressive performance! The show we saw was called Groom on a Broom and it was about a runaway groom, and it was hysterical! The music was amazing and my only grievance is that I can’t listen to the cast album because it was completely improvised. I wish I could see 10 more Showstoppers! Definitely a unique and must see theatrical experience!

Genius. So impressive. So engrossing. So FUNNY. I’m in awe at how the actors can make up the songs and story on the spot with just some suggestions/prompts from the audience. I would watch this again and again because it’s always going to be different! I’ve been recommending this to everyone I know.
