Stomp is a percussion group that hails from Brighton, England. The concept of the performance was to use ordinary everyday objects to create incredible rhythms. The show has been lauded for its uniqueness and liveliness, performed by eight highly-skilled percussionists who are also incredible acrobats. In 1991, Steve McNicholas and Luke Cresswell introduced Stomp to the world. The show used a variety of everyday objects as percussion instruments. Stomp had a preview at London’s Bloomsbury Theatre and premiered at the Assembly Rooms in Edinburgh. The production was financed, directed, and produced by Cresswell and McNicholas. The show featured seven performers: Cresswell, Theseus Gerard, Carl Smith, Fraser Morrison, David Elrod, Nick Dwyer, and Sarag Eddy. In the same year, the show grew to an eight-person outfit with the addition of Fiona Wilkes.

From 1991 to 1994, Stomp’s cast performed worldwide and received several accolades, including a Lawrence Olivier Award for Best Choreography Award in a West End Show and a nomination for Best Entertainment Award. In 1994, the show premiered at Orpheum Theatre in New York City. The U.S. production also garnered several accomplishments, including a Drama Desk Award for Most Unique Theatre Experience and an Obie Award. The show’s success in the U.S. meant that production would be extended. Hence, an American cast was hired in place of the original cast for the North American tour.

In later productions, Stomp had expanded performances in London and Australia, where up to 30 performers were hired. These supercharged versions of Stomp were showcased at the Brighton Festival, Royal Festival Hall in London, and Melbourne, Australia.

“Even without dialog, members of the ‘Stomp’ ensemble credibly interact and communicate with each other…While non-traditional, ‘Stomp’ is a powerful and mesmerizing show. Who knew that everything, including the kitchen sink could be so entertaining?” – Jonathan Spira from Frequent Business Traveler.

“So does ‘Stomp’ still pack a punch? Yes – to a degree. There’s something undeniably impressive about watching brooms, oil cans and vacuum-cleaner tubes transformed into musical instruments before your eyes. The show has managed to retain some of its original irreverence, and it remains bigger and better than the many copycat shows that have sprung up in its wake.” – Laura Barnett from Timeout New York.

“The good news is: it’s still an original. A constantly inventive spectacle of sound-making, it provides an aural assault even as it offers the visually amusing – and surprising – sight of how these sounds are made. ” – Mark Shenton from BBC.
