Unfortunately we ran out of time to see it when we were in London last year, but that's OK because they are about to tour Australia! We've got tickets to give away, read on to find out how!
The Broadway, West End and international sensation STOMP is back, and it’s better than
ever! Following a sell-out visit in 2013, STOMP returns to Australia with its unstoppable
energy and ‘pure stage magic’.
The show will tour to Melbourne, the Gold Coast, Adelaide and Sydney from May to August this year.
Wordless, witty and fun, STOMP has become a global phenomenon over the last 26 years.
Its universal language of rhythm, theatre, comedy and dance has resonated with audiences throughout the world, setting feet stamping, fingers drumming and adrenalin rushing for over 12 million people in 55 countries across six continents.
Eight performers use an array of ordinarily mundane objects, from which they create musical magic; an exhilarating soundtrack inspired by the commotion of everyday life. Everything from Zippo lighters, bin lids, and even the kitchen sink are used to hammer out an explosively feel-good rhythm enjoyed by audiences of all ages.
“Trolleys” plays on the everyday experience of negotiating a busy shopping aisle with a fully-laden supermarket trolley, with the piece building to STOMP’s first ever fully-fledged drumcorps march: certainly an eye-catching spectacle. “Frogs” explores the bizarre sonic
possibilities of a variety of plumbing fixtures: it has to be heard to be believed!
In another spectacular routine, paint cans are tossed between the performers, as they
simultaneously build an astonishingly complex rhythm over every surface of the airborne
cans.
With the emphasis very much on ‘spectacular’, the Stompers are also joined by
inflated monster truck inner tubes strapped around their waists to create both a dance of
bobbing, whirling rubber skirts and pounding, portable drum kits – the ultimate redefinition of ‘surround sound’.
