Smash hit STOMP returns to Emens Auditorium (2/18/2004)

STOMP
Tickets for STOMP are on sale now at the Emens box office.

STOMP, the international percussion sensation, makes its triumphant return to Emens Auditorium on Tuesday and Wednesday, Feb. 24 and 25 at 7:30 p.m.

After playing to sellout crowds for over nine seasons, STOMP continues its phenomenal run. From its beginnings as a street performance in the United Kingdom, STOMP has grown into an international phenomenon, having performed in over 350 cities in 36 countries.

STOMP, an overwhelming success, is marked by rave reviews, numerous awards and sell-out engagements. The young performers "make a rhythm out of anything we can get our hands on that makes a sound," says co-creator/director Luke Cresswell.

Stiff-bristle brooms become a sweeping orchestra. Zippo lighters flip open and closed to create a fiery fugue. Wooden poles thump and clack in a rhythmic explosion. STOMP uses everything but conventional percussion instruments – trash cans, tea chests, plastic bags, plungers, boots and hubcaps - to fill the stage with compelling and infectious rhythms.

Critics and audiences have raved: "STOMP is as crisp and exuberant as if it had just 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.

Tickets for this reserved seating event are on sale now at the Emens box office. Ticket prices are $32/$25/$19. Group discounts are available for this show. 

Tickets can be purchased 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday and two hours before the show at the box office and at all Ticketmaster locations or charge-by-phone at (765) 644-3131. The Box Office can be reached at (765) 285-1539, toll free at (877) 99-EMENS or at www.bsu.edu/emens.
