Tickets are $29.50-$49.50 and are available by clicking here. For 2015, they'll be at the Palace Theatre in Stamford, CT on January 8 at 7pm. So if you're going to spend your money on something for the whole family, definitely consider STOMP. (Except for the tissue-in-the-nose joke.) But STOMP is different it really does appeal to the whole family, all of it, all the time. You go to a Dora The Explorer show mostly for the sake of your kids, for example, and you drag them to classical music concerts. The percussion and movement work began its decades-long run. Show often bill themselves as "Fun for the Whole Family," but this usually means that there are different bits that may be fun for parts of your family, but which must be endured by others. STOMP finishes its Off-Broadway run January 8 at The Orpheum Theatre almost 29 years after opening. NEW YORK CITY (WABC) - The off-Broadway show 'Stomp,' announced it will close next month after a 29-year run. The tissue-in-the-nose joke fell flat for us adults even the first time, but even the third time was hilarious for a 7-year-old boy. The award-winning rhythm and comedy show 'Stomp' will shut its door on January 8. The show is often very humorous, in a G-rated way except for once, which went over the kids' head. I was aware of this in advance, so I wasn't disappointed. The beauty lies in their ability to coax complex rhythms and sounds from ordinary objects, and in the athleticism required to pull this off in the nearly perfect way they do. The stage performance of STOMP, though, is just the main STOMP group, whose signature is an urban grittiness. My husband had assumed that the stage show would be as beautiful as the movie, which was filmed with different rhythm performing groups all around the world, with wonderful costumes, gorgeous scenery, and a sense of how the rhythms of different cultures bring out both the uniqueness of the culture and a way for any individual to make a connection it. When making ticket reservations, it's important to know what to expect. My friend's son wears hearing aids, and loud sounds are often too much for him, but he told me that it was fine, and that he could even hear the very soft sounds (as when the rhythms were made by clicks from lighters). It is a 1-hour-and-45-minute show with no intermission, and it's often quite loud, which may be a difficult on babies. My kids (ages 6 and 8) found the performance extremely enjoyable, and my friend's 7-year-old son practically vibrated with excitement the whole time. Pulse had no words, and neither does STOMP's stage performance. I was pleased to be in Philadelphia when they were there recently. So we were extremely eager to see their on-stage performance, as we missed them the last time they were around in Rochester. Our family fell in love with the rhythms of that movie, and we've even rented it subsequently from Netflix. Many of you may remember this group's big-screen movie Pulse, a STOMP Odyssey, which you can find on Netflix. And it has sprouted multiple companies – as many as six at one time.STOMP is a group of dancers/performers/percussionists (it's very hard to describe them in one word) that uses ordinary objects, and their bodies, to create marvelous rhythmical sounds. Its performers made appearances on Sesame Street and at the 2012 Olympic Games. Over the course of its run, it's become an international phenomenon, playing in 45 countries. We just aren't selling enough tickets."īut that doesn't mean STOMP is going away. "Foreign tourists became a major part of our audience and they really have not returned to New York since COVID. "Twenty-nine years is a long time to sustain a run," STOMP co-producer and general manager Richard Frankel said. The choreographic clatter of trash can lids, thud of boot heels and swish of brooms that has been synonymous with New York's downtown performing arts scene for nearly three decades is coming to an end this week. A scene from the New York production of STOMP featuring Desmond Howard and Emmanuel "Manny" Scott at the Orpheum Theatre.
