Get ready for a rhythmic experience like no other!

This is a show that will captivate audiences of all ages, and it's the perfect opportunity for families to enjoy a night out together.
Since its humble beginnings as a street performance in the UK, STOMP has grown into an international sensation over the past 29 years,
performing in more than 50 countries and captivating over 26 million people worldwide. This is your chance to witness the magic of STOMP in person!
Why Bring Your Family to STOMP?
STOMP is a family-friendly show that has received rave reviews, numerous awards, and sell-out engagements. The show’s unique combination of percussion, movement, and visual comedy creates an inimitable, contemporary form of rhythmic expression that’s both captivating and entertaining.
The performers make a rhythm out of anything they can get their hands on, transforming household and industrial objects into musical instruments. Synchronized stiff bristle brooms become a sweeping orchestra; Zippo lighters create a fiery fugue, and wooden poles thump and clack in a rhythmic explosion. Dustbins, suitcases, radiator hoses, boots, and hub caps all find new life in this compelling and unique act.
Critics and audiences alike have praised STOMP. The New York Times calls it “as crisp and exuberant as if it had opened yesterday.” 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.”
The Chicago Tribune says it’s “a phenomenal show! Bashing, crashing, smashing, swishing, banging and kicking—a joyous invention!”
Created by Luke Cresswell and Steve McNicholas, STOMP has toured across North America, Europe, Latin America, and Asia, following successful runs in London’s West End and New York's Orpheum Theatre. The show continues to evolve, incorporating new material that brings music to everyday objects.
You and your kids will never look at supermarket carts, plumbing fixtures, paint cans, or kitchen sinks the same way again!
