      From January 13 to 15, STOMP takes over the Queen Elizabeth Theatre (650 Hamilton).

      The production uses everything but conventional instruments (dustbins, tea chests, radiator hoses, boots, and hub caps) to fill the stage with a unique combination of percussion, movement, and visual comedy.

      Created by Luke Cresswell and Steve McNicholas, STOMP has grown from its beginnings as a street performance in the U.K. to an international sensation that has won the Olivier Award for Best Choreography, a New York Obie Award, and a Drama Desk Award for Unique Theatre Experience.

      It has also garnered an Academy Award nomination and four Emmy nominations and one Emmy Award for its HBO special Stomp Out Loud, as well as numerous TV appearances.

      Tickets for STOMP are $82, $71, and $55 and can be bought online.
