Spontaneous Broadway

Spontaneous Broadway

A fully improvised musical experience inspired by the audience

Spontaneous Broadway, where performers audition Broadway-style songs that they create on the spot based on song titles created by you, the audience.  Vote for your favorite song and see it brought to life by our performers as they improvise an entire hour-long musical around it! It's an experience that must be seen to be believed. 

Act one? Audience members jot down never-before-sung titles of songs. Performers then improvise new Broadway musical numbers based on these titles of the top of their heads! 

The second act?! A full-length improvised musical based on the audience's favorite song! SPONTANEOUS BROADWAY is a virtuoso piece that challenges improvisers and amazes audiences.

Created by Kat Koppett in association with Freestyle Repertory Theatre Co. in New York City, SPONTANEOUS BROADWAY is a fictional backers audition for a new Broadway musical then brought to the stage. TheatreWeek magazine named creator Koppett one of its unsung heroes of the year in honor of her invention of this exciting format!

Come early and grab a snack and a drink at our cafe!

Will I get picked on by the comedians?

Absolutely not. Improv is about getting inspiration from the audience to help us invent scenes and songs on the spot. We celebrate your contribution to the show because you are part of it. Any volunteers we ask to join us onstage we GUARANTEE will be 110% cooler than they were when they were in their seat.

What's your snow cancellation policy? 
“The show must go on” and, if at all possible, it does at the Mopco.  In the event of very extreme weather or natural disaster, we will email ticket holders with the news 3 hours before showtime that we had to cancel. In the event of a show cancellation, ticket holders will be offered alternate dates to choose from to attend a show of equal or lesser value. For those without tickets, please follow our Facebook page for updates. 

Are there ID or minimum age requirements to enter the event?

There are no minimum age requirements for attendees. Typically shows are within a PG-13 rating. Our performances are improvised so the content is largely determined by the audience and the suggestions you give. We don't avoid "blue" humor but we try to be a little more creative with off-color suggestions than the obvious.  

Do you have a late policy for seating?

Yes. Our shows begin promptly. If a performance is sold out, unused tickets will be released to the waitlist beginning at five minutes to curtain. Please arrive early so that your ticket is not re-sold. There are no refunds within 24 hours of show time. Exchanges for a comparable performance can only be made up to two hours prior to a given performance.

What are my transportation/parking options for getting to and from the event?
