Available until: 30th April. There’s another livestream tomorrow at 7.30pm.
I think improvising is brilliant. It’s so much cleverer than just remembering stuff which other people made up and it means you never have to learn any lines. I’m going to be the prime minister and that’s a bit like improvising because I’ll get asked loads of questions I don’t know the answer to and loads of questions I don’t want to tell anyone the answer to so if I get bored of ruling the country maybe I’ll be a showstopper because they rule too!
This is like the millionth Showstopper show we’ve done on the blog but it’s my first which I reviewed and I loved it! It’s all about superheroes and supervillans and they even managed to make knitting sound quite fun. I suppose the needles are quite sharp. There’s some rude stuff in it too. I know because Jack snigered. He wouldn’t tell me what it meant but I’ll find out. I find out everything.
There’s 4 Showstoppers in each show (there’s like 20 of them all together but they just do 4 at a time) and they have to improvise a whole musical. They choose a story idea from the audience then they start to tell the story and the host keeps interupting them with new story ideas and tells them to make up songs in styles of different musicals.
There’s 2 people in the band. It’s not always the same people but Chris Ash does the piano and Calie Hough does the drums this time. They wear masks the whole time. The singers don’t but they are socially distant and if they have to isolate all 4 there’s loads more of them so it’s a bit naughty but I’ll let them off.
I’m not telling you what the title is but I want to use it for my new nickname!
At the start the host who is called Andrew Pugsley (but he does singing sometimes too) asks the audience to give them lots of ideas for plots. I want to do a plot but I haven’t got a youtube channel. I think they’re scared of what I might post on there. There are 5 plots and I think 4 of them got used.
There’s this couple called Graham and Anne Marie who love each other but Anne Marie’s sister Gracie is jealous but I’m not telling you why because that’s a SPOILER. And then there’s a bendy man and a vicar and a clown and loads of other really weird people and it is HILLARIUS.
The story is really insane but it’s really good. It’s so funny even the showstoppers are laughing which they never ever do and it gets madder and madder and funnier and funnier but it’s not stupid and it’s not a boring musical it’s got murders.
The Showstoppers have to learn to sing in every musical style ever and there are loads in this one. I’m not going to tell you the musicals but I’m going to give you clues. There’s one I didn’t know but it sounded like pass it and poos so there’s your first clue. The clues for the other songs are umbrella, reindeer, angel, fireworks and annoying emails.
Susan Harrison is the main character Gracie. At first she is just like my sister Megan who is always good but then she gets the chance to be more like ME. She plays some villans too and she is really good at acsents.
Ruth Bratt and Justin Brett play the couple and I think they should get married for real so they’re like Mr and Mrs Bratt-Brett. Ruth is really funny and she is extra good at bringing in people’s ideas and when it was near the end she sorted everything out in like 5 seconds so we got a proper ending. Justin is funny too and he’s really good at voices like the clown voice and I like what he does with the top hat but I’m not telling you what. You have to watch!
Jonathan Ainscough plays lots of roles like the vicar and Mr Icycle and Grandpop and they are all really different and important. He started the whole show off too and straight away I knew this was going to be EPICK. And I was right because I’m always right.
Go and watch it. Because I said so. When I’m prime
minister you have to do whatever I say so you might as well get used to it.
