“This had better be good. All I can say is this had better be good.” That was me, grumbling to kisa about our free show after spending nearly three hours trying to be talked into buying a time share. We had already gotten tickets for one Vegas show and I was thinking that was enough. Silly me.
Anytime anyone takes a stick and bangs on something I sit up and listen. I should have known this would be good. I’m fascinated by rhythm, no matter how it’s made. Add a dozen or more people all banging on things and I’m in percussion heaven. Such was Stomp. Of course I wasn’t allowed to take pictures but I did manage to take a picture of the theater before the performance (above isn’t it).
The thing that amazed me the most about the show was the idea that anything can create music. Anything can be played. Newspapers, boxes, brooms, garbage cans, even plastic bags. My eyes and ears couldn’t keep up with all the music being made. My favorite part was a water segment. Guys banging on cups as they poured water out of them in front of a huge fish tank. The changes in sound as the water left the cups were fascinating.
So, yeah. I may have been grumbling in the beginning but in the end kisa rocked my world. See below for the “set” pic of Stomp.

I loved that show – we got the free tickets to it from the timeshare talk as well. Trying to describe it to C ahead of time was interesting:
C: So, is it a musical show? Me: Um, sort of.
C: Do they dance aroud a lot? Me: Well, kind of
C: Is it a play or what? Me: Just wait and see.
You get the picture ….
LOL I can just imagine that conversation! Is there singing? Hmmm…not exactly. Well, is there dialogue? Not exactly.
It makes for an interesting conversation. I just prefer to say they bang on things! 😉
Yes, due to my vague description of the show, he was somewhat skeptical at the start, but he ended up having a great time at the show.
So did I! My favorite drummer was this chick with red hair. She really rocked!
Welcome back. Please check your email-we need to discuss a thing or two…….. . 😉
With over 800 emails to go through I’m getting there. Probably this weekend…
