Stomp is the creation of Luke Cresswell and Steve McNicholas. They created a show that does not include a particular plot of dialogue; it is a totally new musical experience. The musical is told through percussion and percussion only. The musical first opened in Brighton in 1991 and was a hit from the off. It quickly progressed to the stages of New York’s Broadway in 1994 where its success continued.
The reviews for the percussion musical remained positive for ten years thanks to the performances on Broadway at the Orpheum Theatre. This continued interest in the musical led to Stomp once again gracing the stage of the West End. In 2002 the musical opened at the Vaudeville Theatre where it received the same success as it did on Broadway. In September 2007 the musical moved to the Ambassadors Theatre where it continues today.
The musical is booking until October 2009 and is expected to produce sell out shows until this date. The success of the musical includes a Laurence Olivier Award for Best Choreography and the cast of the show have seen great heights of fame including advertising with Coca Cola and American chain Target. The hype surrounding Stomp continues.
