Spontaneous Broadway
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Spontaneous Broadway is an advanced longform improvised performance, usually based on audience suggestions. The audience typically submits titles of "songs that have never been written", and the performers choose ten suggestions, using them to create a Broadway musical. Though not required or indeed encouraged by improv professionals, elements of humor inevitably surface in the performance, in the form of typical Broadway stereotypes, like a character's tendency to break into song for no evident reason.
The Spontaneous Broadway format was created by Kat Koppett in association with Freestyle Repertory Theatre in New York.
