STOMP - A smashing good time!

STOMP just came to Philly at the Merriam Theater and it was a privilege to see it last night.  This raucous show features 8 performers using various props and their bodies in percussive ways to create rhythmic music to entertain the crowd.  They find unique ways to make music without any instruments and with no vocalizations.  In addition to the music, with their body language they add plenty of comedy to the music keeping the audience laughing throughout the performance.  One character played a goofball and especially stood out to make everyone laugh on numerous occasions.

I'd highly recommend this show to anyone who has it come to their town as it is constantly touring.  Check out their main site at www.stomponline.com/tickets_tour.php for dates in your area!
