 Showstoppers is a TV talent search show (6 episodes plus 2 hour finale). Talent judges Michael Hurst and Stacey Daniels selected the eight Showstoppers from hundreds of hopefuls who auditioned in Christchurch, Wellington, and Auckland, New Zealand. The six episodes show auditions and the selection process, plus the training and preparation of the finalists for the variety show (directed by Michael Hurst) which is shown in the finale.
