Stomp

Absolutely amazing performance. Each cast member gave it 100%. Had not seen the show since I was kid, better than I remembered. Would go back in a heartbeat!!!

2^nd time I’ve seen the show and still amazing!
I came here last Friday night to the 8pm show right as the NYC Blizzard was hitting. What a great start to the weekend!
Loved the Lighters!!!
Pro Tips:
–All the seats in the theater are good. The 1^st row of the balcony is a little tight with the rail.
–The ENTIRE SHOW is the «sound of everyday things» So if you are the type of person that is sensitive to that, best to bring earplugs for some portion of the show.

Seen these show years ago. This show is a staple of the East Village, having opened at the Orpheum in 1994 with over 5,000 performances since. The theater itself is small and intimate with 347 seats. The show is basically what you’ve heard of it. There is no spoken dialogue at all. Instead, a group of people make percussion music with a bunch of random junk — metal barrels, broomsticks, newspapers, trashcans, and more. Despite its simplicity, I thought the sound was very addictive and with the numerous visual gags, it was funny as well. Definitely worth one watch in your lifetime.

If you like percussion, you will really LOVE STOMP! I’m amazed by the music they created with very imaginative «instruments»…including the kitchen sink! Very talented cast. I enjoyed it immensely! The best part was the zippo lighters! VERY COOL!

Fantastic show. It entertained from start to finish. I took my 19 and 21 year sons and they loved it. They had big smiles thru the whole show. The entertainers had tremendous energy.

This is a fun little show with some good characters.
The coolest thing by far is what they do with the lighters. I could watch a whole show based on the lighters. It could be called «flick my bic»

Like every New Yorker I had always heard about Stomp, but I didnt decide to purchase tickets until the other night. It surpassed all my expectations. It was creative, interactive, and a fabulous show for all ages. Highly recommended.

No dialogue, just lots of VERY creative percussion and lots of fun in this very long-​running production.
Great for kids, even young ones.
Discounts are very widely available.

Please be warned about buying tickets at the box office of Stomp. The show was entertaining but I could not enjoy it. All I could think about was the discrimination I felt after my experience purchasing tickets at the box office window. I was first in line with cash to buy tickets for the 20@20 promotion. There was a long line behind me. The lady at the window gave me mezzanine seats. However, the people waiting behind me got orchestra tickets. How do I know? There were only 3 rows full of people in the mezzanine. Most were seated before I arrived. And when the show began, there were many empty seats left in the orchestra. I knew racism existed but I never really experienced it. Now I know. Advice: Bring a white friend to buy the tickets.

This show is very entertaining for adults & kids. It has something for everyone! The cast are amazing at what they do. The theater is small but I think that makes it even better. This is the original theater Stomp started in when they came to the US. You cam see the whole stage from any seat in the house.

Fantastic show. I saw it and tell my children to see it they were very happy. it’s amazing how did they make a music from anything you can’t imagine. I consider that show 4 every 1 he well go to New-​York he well not regret

Caution: high dust & allergens. FYI For those with respiratory issues.
We were Unprepared for that.
Visible dirt & dust clinging to decorations on walls of small venue.
Our son complained he «couldn’t breathe» yet SO enjoyed the show. Thankfully we were able to stay thru performance.
Amazing athletic percussion specialists. Hot sweaty performers. Never stopped. Loud. Engaging. Entertaining for ages 8 and older (& able to enjoy LOUD sounds for duration.) unforgettable talents!

Umm, it’s got a rhythm and it’s more of a musical performance than a «play» with a «story line» and one of the best things that I found about the performance was that you could be right on top of the actors/​musicians. I would love to go back again soon – it doesn’t seem like it would get old fast

Que dinero en la entrada más bien invertido.
Que buen rollo los actores,
Que buen rollo la gente que estábamos en la sala,
Que forma de empatizar unos y los otros,
Que forma de volar el tiempo.
Genial! Percursión a tope …

If you’re looking for an awe-​inspiring, upbeat, entertaining way to spend an evening, look no further than Stomp. This show — and the performers in it — will leave you mesmerized as you try to figure out just HOW they were able to do what the do with Zippo lighters, brooms, pieces of trash, and barrels (amongst other random things).
I saw Stomp years ago and was pumped to see it again. I love going to performances, but I’m definitely the kind of person who will check the time at several points throughout a play or show. I was SO captivated by Stomp that not even once was I tempted to «just see what time it is»…and in fact, when it ended, I felt there was no way that nearly two hours had just passed!
This show is loud, and there isn’t any dialogue, which I know throws some people off. But it is so different from anything else you can see, and the talent on stage is absolutely incredible (and envy-​producing). It’s a show that people of all ages (yes, even kids!) can appreciate.
The theatre is nice and small so you definitely will have a good view no matter where you are seated. Snatch up some tickets and go see it!

*tiny place with cramped seating.
*make music out of anything! (Pots, pans, shopping carts, brooms, newspapers.)
*musical, entertaining, captivating, hilarious!
*performers don’t speak, the entire show is based off of their actions.
*if you sit in the front, be cautious of dust coming from the brooms.

Great show! Very creative and inspiring. I really liked how the performers interacted with the crowd and loved the humorous parts sprinkled within the performance. I actually lol’ed during the newspaper scene it was so funny. I would recommend this to all ages. It can get a little loud but you have to expect that. Overall, great experience!

High energy full body fun for all ages. The percussionists are daunting and the talent is hard to conceive at first but after about an hour if your jaw hasn’t dropped a half dozen times there is something wrong with your sense of rhythm!
The diversity of common goods used to generate sound is mind blowing and thematically the Stomp crew gets it right down to the costumes. I felt myself yelling inside «SAY SOMETHING» as the nearly two hour show is without a single word. Come on, seriously, it’s incredible to see a crowd entrained into silence of voice like this. The effect is beautiful and the end result tribal. You’ll see, when the call and response from the audience and stage happens it is heartening to see syncopated clapping spontaneously done this well.
Oh, promise I’m almost done, but the scene where household garbage is picked out of a black garbage bag and repurposed was phenomenal. I can only hope if that doesn’t draw out young artists into the world of music then the tear jerking comical skits will. I’ve not laughed as hard as I did in this show in a long time — healthy down deep.

Without saying a word, Stomp is the epitome of creativity. Like everyone else has said, the performers use sinks, matchboxes, brooms, garbage cans, lighters, buckets, brooms, their own bodies, tubes, and more to make music and dance. The audience is full of kids and their parents, but anyone can and will enjoy this show. My mom loved it. She was laughing harder than anyone actually! Certain parts of it are extremely funny, and most scenes will get a laugh out of you for sure, even with no plot. My family and I were thoroughly entertained. I’d recommend to sit in the middle of the orchestra or any seat back. If you’re front row, it’s too loud. Also do some investigating for Groupon or LivingSocial deals. They are always around.
I love what Stomp teaches — that you can have fun with even the simplest objects. That you can make music out of anything and everything. That music is ultimately anything with a rhythm.

‘Stomp’ is literally my favorite show — I’ve always loved percussion, and seeing these awesome performers making awesome beats with matchboxes, brooms, garbage cans, Zippo lighters, and brooms is just ridiculously cool. The show itself has a great sense of humor to it, filled with dance, theatrical performance, and awesome beats. I absolutely love it! I’ve seen the show in London as well as the one at Orpheum Theater in East Village — totally worth it. The theater itself is small, but intimate, and the seats are steep so you don’t have to peer over anyone’s head — a huge plus! Be sure to check them out if you have the chance! :D
+percussion-​focused & high-​energy :D

A good show to catch away from Broadway. It is as if street dancers along with tap dancers and artists had babies and this is the result lol. The staff I must admit is pretty creative and talented and they must have been doing this together for yrs since they work well together.
The theater itself is pretty small but we got decent seating on the first row of the balcony.
Some of my favorite moments is when they used the lighters and another is the kitchen sinks part. There are many different you can enjoy. The cast also got the crowd a bit involved and made it funny. I feel it was a bit long, close to two hours. Anyway I had a great time and it was worth the money!
