Stomp Tickets
It’s safe to say that no two musicals or theatrical shows are exactly the same. But it’s also safe to say that there’s no other show that’s in the same realm as Stomp. Premiering in 1991 and created by the British duo of Steve McNicholas and Luke Cresswell, Stomp is truly one of a kind. Rather than relying on world-class musicians to create the show’s score, the on-stage performers take care of that themselves using anything and everything imaginable. From brooms to garbage cans to matchboxes, the actors in Stomp use every object imaginable to create a cacophony of sound that’s loud and chaotic but somehow blends together in a unique and perfectly-orchestrated performance.
Around the Block
Part of the brilliance of Stomp is that it uses everyday items found on the street to create its soundtrack. As a result, the show can be performed just about anywhere. Unlike other shows, it doesn’t require a formal theater setting to reach an audience. That fact was proven in 2000 when Stomp was performed on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial. The show was also performed during the closing ceremony of the 2012 Summer Olympics in London. In between, Stomp also did a show on Sesame Street and was turned into an IMAX movie, bringing the show to a wide and diverse audience.
A Timeless Classic
When Stomp made its debut in 1991, there were undoubtedly critics who believed the performance was too unusual and avant-garde to be anything other than a novelty. After all, it’s far from an ordinary musical. But the energy, rhythm, and creative nature of Stomp has continued to resonate with audiences for 30-plus years. Stomp has become a worldwide phenomenon, reaching an audience far beyond the streets of London and Edinburgh. During its run, Stomp has conquered Broadway and broke records at the famous Sydney Opera House in Australia. After more than 10,000 shows worldwide and a few tweaks along the way, Stomp remains one of the most creative and invigorating musicals the world has ever known and is a guarantee to give audiences something they’ve never experienced before.
