After a successful run at Toronto Fringe Festival, as well as being dubbed one of Toronto’s Top Five Summer Improv Shows, Songbuster - An Improvised Musical can’t wait to be a part of the Next Stage Theatre Festival. During each performance the cast of award winning improvisers creates a brand new musical on the spot from audience suggestions. Each night is opening night and audiences can’t believe it’s not scripted.
You've seen the cast on TV (Orphan Black, Degrassi, RAW) but you've never seen them like this! Created in the summer of 2015 by Stephanie Malek (Bad Dog’s Final Frontier) and Josh Murray (Second City Touring Company), this improvised musical is directed by Tom King. Joining Malek and Murray in the cast are Kristian Bruun (Orphan Black), Ashley Comeau (Second City Mainstage), Tricia Black (Sketchersons), Alexandra Hurley (Edinburgh Fringe), Nug Nahrgang (Evil Dead! The Musical), Nicky Nasrallah (PANACEA!), and Connor Thompson (Second City Mainstage).
Audience suggestions are transformed into all singing, all dancing shows with surprising and hysterical results. Fast paced, ridiculous, and always entertaining, the cast creates an hour long musical from suggestions provided by the audience. Not only do they create the music and words from thin air, but they also create a world full of engaging characters and captivating stories you won’t soon forget (even though you will never be able to see them again).
The producers invite press to attend the show twice, to fully appreciate the uniqueness of each performance.
