Celebrating its 7th sensational year in London, STOMP is now FRESHER, FASTER AND FUNNIER than ever before, with new routines, new choreography and new music.

This multi-award winning show has a universal language of rhythm, theatre, comedy and dance.  Eight performers use everything from Zippo lighters, plastic bags, bin lids and even the kitchen sink to hammer out an explosively feel good rhythm.

‘IF YOU HAVEN’T SEEN STOMP, GO! If you have seen it, take someone who hasn’t and share the pleasure’  - Boston Herald


STOMP has no words - everyone can understand it. It has little or no melody in the traditional sense, so it doesn't matter if your taste in music is jazz, classical, dance or pop. STOMP is about rhythm, which is common to all cultures. Everyone knows rhythm, if only from the beating of their own heart - it is the basis of all music.

STOMP is about a group of people, with very strong personalities, who work together using simple building blocks to create something complex , something everyone can identify with: everyone has, at some time, to engage in group activity, whether they like or know the people they are working with or not. It's the little idiosyncrasies, the differences between people, and the games of one-upmanship that ensue, which define the group dynamic.

There are several Stomp companies currently performing around the world: up to three working from the UK and three in North America. Each company has its own style, its own feel: this is because even though the show is very tightly choreographed and orchestrated, there is a lot of room for every performer's own personality to shine through. The show is as much an expression of eight individuals with very strong personalities as it is a vision of rhythm.

STOMP was created in 1991. Since then it has become an international success.

STOMP is an inventive, exhilarating, hilarious, infectious and totally unique show appealing to audiences of all ages. Eight performers use everything from matchboxes, wooden poles, garbage cans and even the kitchen sink to hammer out a feel good rhythm.

This British theatrical sensation has become an international smash hit playing in every major city around the globe. Celebrating its sixth year in London, Stomp is now playing at the Ambassadors Theatre in the heart of the West End.
