[I:http://www.yourinternettravelguide.com/wp-content/NeilCapel20.jpg]The STOMP Musical is often a special fusion of percussion, movement and comedy; STOMP transforms everyday junk and clutter into a source of infectious rhythm. Stomp is currently playing at the Ambassadors Theatre London. Book London theatre tickets to see a brilliant performance!

Stomp is really a movement, of bodies, objects, sounds – even abstract suggestions. But what makes it so appealing is that the cast uses everyday objects, but in non-traditional approaches. There is no speech, no dialogue, not even a plot.

So why go see Stomp? Nicely, have you ever composed a symphony employing only matchbooks as instruments? Or developed a dance routine based around sweeping? You may have done this just a little, but get a group of rhythmically gifted, really coordinated bodies with definitive personalities, and you might have the makings for Stomp.

The international hit performance-dance rhythm return to London for a long overdue West End residency. A lot of the appeal is from the pleasure of invention… and also the dexterity, precision and energy of the performers is engaging and disconcertingly infectious.

This glorious act without having words, in which a business of eight throw themselves body and soul into creating rhythms of every single complexity and volume employing one of the most fundamental discovered objects (brooms, cigarette-lighters, dustbins and oil drums) is an uplifting hymn to the art of making one of the most of minimalist indicates.

The Ambassadors Theatre can be a little theatre with an equally tiny stage, with the depth of the stage being only 6.25 metres. This intimate auditorium has a proscenium arched stage which suits revue style productions. The Ambassadors and St Martin’s next door had been conceived as companions by their architect WGR Sprague in 1913 – though St Martin’s was delayed by three years.

This theatre changed its name to The New Ambassadors Theatre in 1999. The Ambassadors is maybe best referred to as the original property of the Agatha Christie thriller The Mousetrap which opened here on 25th November 1952, and stayed until 25th March 1974 when it moved to St Martin’s. Notable productions after this contain 84 Charing Cross Road along with a transfer of The Royal Shakespeare Company’s production of Christopher Hamptons play Les Liaisons Dangereuses.

Much more recent productions have included revivals of The Killing of Sister George (with Miriam Margolyes) and Dames at Sea (with Kim Criswell, Sara Crowe and Peter Duncan). The New Ambassadors Theatre was employed by The Royal Court Theatre between 1996 and 1999 to stage their ‘Theatre Upstairs’ studio based work whilst their own theatre in Sloane Square underwent key reconstruction. Given that June 1999 the theatre has been used to present short seasons of new work and revivals.
