The STOMP Musical is often a special fusion of percussion, movement and comedy; STOMP transforms everyday junk and clutter into a source of infectious rhythm. Stomp is currently playing at the Ambassadors Theatre London. Book London theatre tickets to see a brilliant performance!
Stomp is often a movement, of bodies, objects, sounds - even abstract suggestions. But what makes it so appealing is that the cast uses everyday objects, but in non-traditional approaches. There is no speech, no dialogue, not even a plot.
So why go see Stomp? Nicely, have you ever composed a symphony employing only matchbooks as instruments? Or produced a dance routine based around sweeping? You may have accomplished this a bit, but get a group of rhythmically gifted, incredibly coordinated bodies with definitive personalities, and you might have the makings for Stomp.
The international hit performance-dance rhythm return to London for a long overdue West End residency. Significantly of the appeal is from the pleasure of invention... as well as the dexterity, precision and energy of the performers is engaging and disconcertingly infectious.
This glorious act with out words, in which a company of eight throw themselves body and soul into making rhythms of every single complexity and volume making use of the most simple found objects (brooms, cigarette-lighters, dustbins and oil drums) is an uplifting hymn to the art of producing the most of minimalist means.
The Ambassadors Theatre is really a tiny theatre with an equally tiny stage, with the depth of the stage becoming only 6.25 metres. This intimate auditorium has a proscenium arched stage which suits revue style productions.
The Ambassadors and St Martin's next door were conceived as companions by their architect WGR Sprague in 1913 - even though St Martin's was delayed by 3 years.
This theatre changed its name to The New Ambassadors Theatre in 1999. The Ambassadors is possibly finest known as the original house of the Agatha Christie thriller The Mousetrap which opened here on 25th November 1952, and stayed until 25th March 1974 when it moved to St Martin's. Notable productions soon after this include 84 Charing Cross Road along with a transfer of The Royal Shakespeare Company's production of Christopher Hamptons play Les Liaisons Dangereuses.
A lot more recent productions have included revivals of The Killing of Sister George (with Miriam Margolyes) and Dames at Sea (with Kim Criswell, Sara Crowe and Peter Duncan). The New Ambassadors Theatre was utilized by The Royal Court Theatre between 1996 and 1999 to stage their 'Theatre Upstairs' studio based work even though their own theatre in Sloane Square underwent major reconstruction. Since June 1999 the theatre has been used to present short seasons of new work and revivals.
