Families, rejoice! The one-of-a-kind Showstoppers’ Kids Show is coming to The Lowry on 28-29 June for an interactive musical experience, produced by Olivier Award-winning West End improvisers, The Showstoppers. And it’s up to you to decide what happens!

Confused? Well – here’s a question for you, kids: If you could create your very own dream musical, where would you begin?

The Showstoppers’ Kids Show takes the audience members’ amazing ideas and transforms them into marvellous musical adventures right before their eyes. Explore magical kingdoms and fantastical worlds as the audience decide the setting, plot twists, and the characters in the show.

Where will you go? What will it be? A doll’s house? A magic castle? A spooky graveyard? Shaun the Sheep meeting Dora at a magic castle? Peppa Pig and Spiderman exploring a spooky graveyard? Paw Patrol battling monsters under the sea? All of the above and more… Amazing ideas that haven’t yet even been thought about, simply coming to live on stage.

Transferred from the minds of the youngsters, to the stage itself, everything in this production is made up on the spot entirely from audience suggestions. It’s literally all about audience interaction, and that’s what makes it such a very special experience, and one you won’t forget in a while!

Grown-ups, please note: kids’ suggestions only! But of course the whole audience will be loving every minute, every story, every musical note, we promise!

Don’t miss this incredible event from the creators of Showstopper! The Improvised Musical. Recommended for families with youngsters aged 5 and up.
