Well, with Showstopper! The Improvised Musical at The Apollo (to 29 Nov; p. 58), you can. In this performance based on audience suggestions, no two nights are the same. There is no script, score and set. Instead, an actor encourages the audience to shout out suggestions for settings – an asylum, Sherwood Forest or the Arctic, say – before voting for their favourite one by cheering. As the show has already proved to be a hit on BBC Radio 4 and at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, you can bet it will be inventive. With any luck, the story could be a four-part harmony about a tragic penguin in wartime Britain. Whatever the plot, it’s bound to make you giggle.
