Stomp is musical entertainment for all ages. This performance doesn’t have a storyline or characters, just music. And not the type of music that you hear a band play or listen to on the radio — this music is made by objects that we see and use every day. The performers use garbage cans, brooms, newspapers, plastic bags, stop signs, sinks, lighters, and more to create different beats and patterns.
The theatre is unlike any other theater I have been to. The stage is small and there are what seem to be millions of things hanging on the walls. These objects turn out to be what the performers use to make music.
The eight “stompers” move their bodies to the rhythmic beat of the music, dancing like they are at a party, not onstage. Although there’s no speaking, the performers use phsyical comedy and facial expressions to make the audience laugh. The show makes me feel empowered and energetic. I feel the urge to dance and to make music with everything around me.
Stomp is perfect for teenagers who enjoy music and love to laugh. It takes music and movement to a whole other level.

I always thought Stomp would be about stepping, not improvision. I like the idea of the... musical? Body & facial expressions mean a lot so I can only imagine how they come across on stage.
I still haven't seen this, but I love to see music incorporated into performance in an out-of-the-ordinary way. Actually Stomp is taking the ordinary stuff like trash cans and making them into instruments. What's not to love?
i really want to see this show. my dad has wanted to see it for years and i'm planning to take him for his birthday. my friend's father is actually in it and has told me that its full of expression.
