Stomp

Stomp at Chapman Music Hall at Tulsa Performing Arts Center

A show built from brooms, garbage cans, matchboxes, and Zippo lighters has a way of turning ordinary objects into a reason to lean forward. STOMP is that kind of stage event: rhythm-driven, fast-moving, and built from the energy of dance, music, and theatrical performance rather than dialogue or plot. That mix gives it a broad appeal, especially for anyone who likes live entertainment with a visual pulse and a clever sense of invention.

At Chapman Music Hall at Tulsa Performing Arts Center, STOMP lands in one of the city's most important performance spaces, the largest theatre in the venue and a natural home for major theatrical presentations. The production, created by Luke Cresswell and Steve McNicholas and established in New York City in 1994, has kept its identity clear over time: it is about timing, texture, and the pleasure of seeing sound made from unexpected sources. Its North American tour continues to bring that approach to different cities, and Tulsa gets a chance to see why the format has lasted.

Part of the appeal is how accessible it feels without losing its edge. You do not need any backstory to follow the rhythm or enjoy the humor that comes from watching everyday items become instruments. With a running time of about one hour and forty-five minutes and no intermission, it offers a compact evening that stays focused from start to finish.
