Dateline: 25th August, 2002 Stomp in the West End! The celebrated British theatrical sensation, Stomp, is coming to London's West End for the very first time and will be playing at The Vaudeville Theatre from Tuesday 24 September. This award winning, energetic and imaginative show has previously played at The Roundhouse and Sadler's Wells and has toured throughout the UK. The Vaudeville Theatre marks its first foray to the heart of the West End. Originally created in Brighton in 1991, Stomp is a unique combination of percussion, movement and visual comedy. Since its inception, the production has toured to 39 diverse countries from Russia to Brazil, Australia to Japan and Germany to Taiwan and has become an international stage phenomenon. Over 10 million people have seen this exhilarating spectacle and the show remains a success throughout the world. The show is currently in its ninth year of continuous performance at the Orpheum Theatre, Off Broadway, and in May of 2002 celebrated two years of continuous performances in San Francisco. It is also the longest sell-out run of any foreign production in Paris. Stomp finds beauty and music in the mundane - from boots and bins to zippo lighters and plumber's plungers - everything (including the kitchen sink!) becomes part of this amazing production as a cast of eight inspired performers make instruments out of brooms and turn hand-clapping into conversation. With unstoppable energy and toe-tapping exuberance, Stomp takes the clutter and junk of everyday life and transforms it into a pulsating, witty, utterly irresistible theatrical event. "The energy and discipline is awesome, the sheer thumping dynamism
irresistible" "Pure stage magic. Some of the wildest and most imaginative rhythms and movements ever seen" The Sunday Telegraph "Brilliant and very funny: theatre at its most seductive" The New York Times "Big, noisy and irresistible" Sun Herald, Australia Please note that all three Archive indices are very long and will therefore take some time to download.
