Goldstar got good enough seats but we ended up leaving the performance at intermission. The first 15 minutes of watching the performers make noise from banging on unusual items was very cool. After that, it was like the same ole' thing over & over again.. it got really boring so we left.Written on Oct 08 2007

This group of five men are advertised as fully a capella but I didn't believe it for the first two songs. There was obviously one fellow making the base sounds but the other non-singer could not possibly be making all of those percussion sounds by himself! But I was wrong. He calls himself a "beat box" and provides the absolute highlight for the whole group. I was so fascinated with his ability that I listened almost entirely to him, considering the singers as HIS backup! It was a great event.Written on May 15 2006

Description
What does the word Stomp make you think of?
Music, Dance, Theatre, Choreography or Performance Art? All of the above! Or is it none of the above. Well, both are sort of right...In a way. Confused? read on...
Stomp is a movement, of bodies, objects, sounds - even abstract ideas. But what makes it so appealing is that the cast uses everyday objects, but in non-traditional ways.
There's no speech, no dialogue, not even a plot.
So why go see Stomp? Well, have you ever composed a symphony using only matchbooks as instruments? Or created a dance routine based around sweeping? You may have done this a little, but get a group of rhythmically gifted, extremely coordinated bodies with definitive personalities, and you have the makings for Stomp.
Stomp started stomping on the streets of Brighton, England. Luke Cresswell and Steve McNicholas the creators of Stomp were a group of street performers commonly know as "buskers" trying to grab people's attention.
And attention is what they received
Busking is an old custom in the UK, dating back to booth theatres erected at village fairs in the Middle Ages. Luke and Steve updated this historical custom and created a modern symbiotic marriage between movement and music.
You're mistaken if you look for a hidden message in Stomp. There are no political connotations, no pretentious techniques, and no dialogue to misconstrue. Instead, you're bombarded by noises that you usually try to block out. Stomp takes the everyday sounds of pipes and brooms, lighters and garbage pail lids, and creates the extraordinary.
So how do you describe Stomp? If you ask one of the creators, Luke Cresswell, he would simply say, "at the end of the day, Stomp is what it is."
