Stomp stops off at Bradford's Alhambra Theatre for a short time only but this production proves to be a not-to-be-missed spectacular.
I had heard a little about the Stomp production before going to see it but I wasn’t really sure what to expect or what all the hype was about. But I went with an open mind and was awestruck by the immense talent, choreography and rhythm that I witnessed.
Stomp is a unique combination of movement, rhythm, skill and pure talent. Rhythms and beats are created from everyday objects, such as pots, pans, bin lids and even the kitchen sink! The show is also unexpectedly packed full of comedy that had me in stitches even though not one word is uttered throughout the whole one hour and forty minute performance. | "STOMP truly proved to be the most imaginative and creative production to hit the theatre" | | Emma Walker |
Until watching the show I had no idea of the extensive talent, dedication and practice that is needed for the performance to go successfully. Each handclap, stamp and beat is timed and choreographed to perfection to create a fantastic piece of percussion history. The audience were amazed at the performers routines and abilities and they were met with thunderous applause all night long. The performance is fantastically put together so that each act flows to the next. It proves to be a piece of theatre genius.  | | Emma: "A piece of theatre genius." |
The show is also unexpectedly full of visual comedy that had me crying with laughter in parts and added that extra special touch to the overall performance and again shows the abilities of the cast as they portray everything using body language and gesture rather than by word of mouth. I was astonished at how much I laughed and enjoyed the production when there was not one piece of dialogue. Also, the show was fantastic for audience participation, keeping us involved and interested the entire time.
STOMP truly proved to be the most imaginative and creative production to hit the theatre, so don’t miss out on the chance to witness this theatre phenomenon and get your tickets while you can.
Stomp! is at the Alhambra theatre until Friday 18th November 2005 |
