Stomp, the international percussion sensation, makes its triumphant return to Los Angeles at the Pantages Theatre for 16 performances from May 9-21. This engagement will mark the show’s premiere performance at the Pantages Theatre.

From its beginnings as a street performance in the United Kingdom, Stomp has grown into an international phenomenon over the past 10 years, having performed in more than 350 cities in 36 countries worldwide.

Stomp is explosive, provocative, sophisticated, utterly unique and appeals to audiences of all ages. The international percussion show has garnered awards and rave reviews including the Olivier Award for Best Choreography (London’s Tony Award), a New York Obie Award, a Drama Desk Award for Unique Theatre Experience, and a Special Citation from Best Plays.

The eight-member troupe uses everything but conventional percussion instruments – matchboxes, wooden poles, brooms, garbage cans, Zippo lighters, hubcaps – to fill the stage with magnificent rhythms.

Critics and audiences have raved: “Stomp is as crisp and exuberant as if it had opened yesterday,” says The New York Times.

The San Francisco Chronicle declares “Stomp has a beat that just won’t quit!”

The Los Angeles Times exclaims: “Electrifying! Triumphs in the infinite variety of the human experience.”

“A phenomenal show! Bashing, crashing, smashing, swishing, banging and kicking – a joyous invention!” says the Chicago Tribune.
