After creating new routines for STOMP OUT LOUD in Vegas, [co-creator] Luke Cresswell and I decided it was time to rework elements of our main production, STOMP,” said co-creator Steve McNicholas. “STOMP has evolved a great deal ever since its first incarnation at the Edinburgh Festival. Every reworking has involved losing some pieces and gaining new ones, but has always stayed true to the original premise of the show: to create rhythmic music with instantly recognizable objects, and do it with an eccentric sense of character and humor.”Critics and audiences have raved: “STOMP is as crisp and exuberant as if it had opened yesterday,” says The New York Times. The San Francisco Chronicle declares “STOMP has a beat that just won’t quit!” The Los Angeles Times exclaims: “Electrifying! Triumphs in the infinite variety of the human experience.” “A phenomenal show! Bashing, crashing, smashing, swishing, banging and kicking – a joyous invention!” says the Chicago Tribune.
My Thoughts: This show was so much fun to watch. It's fascinating how all the components fit together to make such cool sounds and sound patterns. I wouldn't say it was "music" per say, but it was definitely enjoyable to listen to and watch. The audience was packed with old and young alike, and everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves. The concept of this show is very unique, and a nice change of pace from "typical" broadway preformance, and I thoroughly enjoyed it!
