About This Performance
STOMP is the explosive percussion spectacular that has redefined live entertainment since its debut in 1991. Created by Luke Cresswell and Steve McNicholas, this Tony Award-nominated show transforms everyday objects into extraordinary musical instruments, turning trash cans, brooms, newspapers, and kitchen utensils into a rhythmic symphony. What began as a street performance in Brighton has evolved into a global phenomenon, captivating over 12 million people worldwide with its unique blend of music, comedy, and theatrical innovation.
Expect an electrifying hour and a half of pure energy where eight performers create thunderous rhythms using nothing but found objects and their bodies. There's no traditional dialogue or storyline—instead, the performers communicate through beats, creating an infectious atmosphere that transcends language barriers. The show builds from subtle finger-tapping to explosive crescendos that will have you feeling the vibrations in your chest. It's perfect for music lovers, families, and anyone seeking something completely different from traditional theater. The performers' athletic precision and comedic timing make every moment visually captivating and surprisingly funny.
This touring production brings STOMP's signature industrial playground to intimate theaters and grand performing arts centers across the country. From the historic charm of Lancaster's American Music Theatre to the modern elegance of Charleston's Gaillard Center, each venue offers its own acoustic character that enhances the show's percussive power. The touring experience captures all the raw energy and spontaneity that has made STOMP a worldwide sensation, with the same creativity and craftsmanship that wowed audiences on Broadway and the West End.
