STOMP
May 1, 2010
Paige and I went to see STOMP last night and it was every bit as good as I remembered. The show was popular years ago and I saw it on its first go around, well they brought it back and we just had to see it. Paige has got a little wiggle in her and loves to dance and watch dancing so this show was right up her alley. I forgot how much humor was strewn throughout the performance too. The basis for the show is this group of rough looking individuals in a very urban setting make music from ordinary everyday objects - brooms, garbage cans, plastic bags, lighters, basketballs, paint cans, newspapers… and through the coordination of each of them making a noise with their object, it was turned into a very catchy tune. One of the characters was the goof of the bunch and repeatedly did hilarious things. It was a fun night and lucky for us, the thunderstorm didn’t hit until we were inside the theatre and broke just long enough for us to walk home - perfect timing!
