about the S H O W
STOMP, a unique combination of percussion, movement
and visual comedy, was created in Brighton, UK, in
the summer of 1991. It was the result of a ten-year
collaboration between its creators, Luke Cresswell and
Steve McNicholas.
They first worked together in 1981, as members of
the street band Pookiesnackenburger and the theatre
group Cliff Hanger. Together, these groups presented
a series of street comedy musicals at the Edinburgh
Festival throughout the early ‘80s. After two albums,
a UK TV series and extensive touring throughout
Europe, Pookiesnackenburger also produced the highly
acclaimed “Bins” commercial for Heineken lager.
The piece was originally written and choreographed by
Luke as part of the band’s stage show; it proved to be
the starting point for STOMP’s climactic dustbin dance.
In 1986, Luke and Steve created an eight-minute
‘percussive movie’ for Bette Midler’s HBO special
Mondo Beyondo. Between 1987 and 1990, Luke staged,
as Artistic and Musical Director, four large-scale outdoor
events, including “Beat the Clyde”, which involved
floating a drum orchestra on a pontoon in the centre
of Glasgow; the largest of these events, “The Heineken
Hove Lagoon Show”, involved a 120-piece drum
orchestra featuring the Brighton Festival Chorus and
a full orchestral string section.
In 1991, Steve and Luke first created STOMP,
previewing at London’s Bloomsbury Theatre and
premiering at the Assembly Rooms in Edinburgh, where
it became The Guardian’s “Critics’ Choice” and won
The Daily Express “Best of the Fringe Award”.
Between 1991 and 1994, the original cast of STOMP
played to capacity audiences around the world: from
Hong Kong to Barcelona, from Dublin to Sydney. The
touring culminated in a sell-out season at London’s
Sadler’s Wells Theatre in January 1994, where STOMP
received an Olivier nomination for Best Entertainment
and won Best Choreography in a West End Show.
An expanded version of STOMP, involving up to 30
cast members, was originally created for the Brighton
Festival, UK, and was subsequently presented in
Melbourne, Australia. It was most recently seen in
September 1995, open-air, at the Acropolis in Athens
and at the Royal Festival Hall, London. This production
broke all box office records, which had been established
by Frank Sinatra in 1972.
STOMP began its run at the Orpheum Theatre in New
York in February 1994 and quickly went on to win both
an Obie and a Drama Desk Award for Most Unique
Theatre Experience. By the summer of 1994, the first
American cast was in place at the Orpheum, freeing the
original cast for sell-out tours of North America and Japan.
In the summer of 1995, two more American productions
were created for the sole purpose of US touring, which
continues to this day. US casts have also debuted
STOMP in Chile, Brazil and Korea. Meanwhile, a fifth
STOMP company, also touring from the UK, was formed
in 1997 and has consistently toured the world ever
since. This company presented STOMP for the first
time in Scandinavia and South Africa, and has been a
regular visitor to Germany, Holland and France. Another
STOMP production opened in San Francisco in May
2000, running for two and a half years.
The original cast of STOMP have recorded music for
the Tank Girl movie soundtrack and appeared on the
Quincy Jones album, Q’s Jook Joint. A soundtrack
recorded by Steve and Luke for the Showtime movie
Riot was released in the spring of 1997.
STOMP has also featured in a number of commercials,
including Coca-Cola’s “Ice Pick” and numerous spots
for both Target stores in the US and Toyota in Japan.
STOMP also created the Mr Frears’ Ears series of
short films created for Nickelodeon, whilst “Brooms”, a
15-minute short based around the opening routine, was
nominated for an Academy Award. “Brooms” was also
selected for screening at Robert Redford’s Sundance
Festival and for competition at the Cannes Film Festival.
STOMP made a special appearance at the Academy
Awards in March 1996, with an original piece involving
the live synchronization of classic film clips and onstage
action, featuring 20 performers from all five productions.
In the summer of 1997, Steve and Luke created and
directed STOMP OUT LOUD, a 45-minute television
special for HBO, which combined stage material with
new pieces created for TV. It was premiered in the USA
in December 1997 and subsequently received four
Emmy nominations, for direction, sound mixing, multicamera editing and art direction. 1998 saw the release
of the STOMP OUT LOUD video and DVD around the
world. Another unique blend of live action and film
footage was created for the Emmy Awards, in which
STOMP effectively performed with Spike Jones!
about the S H O W
STOMP performed after midnight on the steps of the
Lincoln Memorial at US President Clinton’s millennium
celebrations. During 2000, a Sesame Street special, “Let’s
Make Music”, a collaboration between STOMP and the
Muppets, was released on TV and video in North America.
Luke and Steve began production of their IMAX movie
Pulse: A STOMP Odyssey in Brazil during Carnival 2000
and completed it in the summer of 2002. Pulse takes
the IMAX audience on a spectacular global journey,
featuring performances from Kodo, Timbalada and Eva
Yerbabuena. It was released to critical acclaim in New
York in the autumn of 2002, and went on to win two
major awards at the International Festival of La Géode
in Paris.
In September 2002, STOMP finally entered London’s
West End at the Vaudeville Theatre, and later that
year STOMP performed as part of The Royal Variety
Show for the second time.
2003 saw a new STOMP production open at the
Stuart Street Theatre in Boston and a unique Dolby
Digital trailer featuring STOMP performances debuted
in cinemas across the globe.
In 2004, New York celebrated 10 years of continuous
performances of STOMP at the Orpheum Theatre by
renaming 2nd Avenue at 8th Street Stomp Avenue.
In addition to the European tour, in 2005 STOMP
returned to Tokyo for three weeks and also toured to
Hong Kong, Singapore and Kuala Lumpur.
In 2006, STOMP’s New York production passed its
5,000th performance mark. In the same year, Luke
and Steve directed a public service announcement
for television called “Stomp Out Litter”, which
featured the cast ‘sweeping up’ at iconic locations in
the five boroughs.
In addition, they were commissioned to create and
produce The Lost and Found Orchestra, which takes
the ideas behind STOMP to a symphonic level, in
celebration of 40 years of the Brighton Festival. The
LFO subsequently performed at the Sydney Opera
House as part of the Sydney Festival early in 2007, was
seen at the Royal Festival Hall in London at Christmas
2008 and the Theater Carré in February 2009.
In 2007, STOMP OUT LOUD opened in Las Vegas at
Planet Hollywood Resort and Casino with an expanded
cast and performed inside a new $28 million theatre,
specifically created for the production. The West End
entered its 6th consecutive year with a move from
the Vaudeville to the Ambassadors Theatre, where it
still resides.
In 2008, STOMP returned to its roots for a new DVD
shoot at the Brighton Dome, bringing together a cast
from all over the STOMP world. For the first time,
the entire show has been captured in high definition
sound and video.
2008 also saw Steve and Luke expand into new areas with
the release of their IMAX 3D nature documentary Wild
Ocean, with a symphonic mix of percussion and traditional orchestra in the soundtrack. In September of the same
year, Wild Ocean won two awards at the Giant Screen
Cinema Association for Best Sound and Best Original
Score at their annual conference held in New York.
The Lost and Found Orchestra reunited in 2010 for a
new show, PANDEMONIUM, which appeared in several
US cities throughout the autumn.
In 2011 the New York production of STOMP entered
its eighteenth year, trouncing the Orpheum house
record set by Little Shop of Horrors. It also entered its
tenth year in the West End at the Ambassadors Theatre,
whilst at the same time Steve and Luke continued with
their 3D film work.
2012 has seen the release of The Last Reef 3D, a film
about the beauty and the plight of reefs worldwide.
As with Wild Ocean, Luke and Steve composed the
film’s orchestral soundtrack, recording it at The Old
Market Theatre in their hometown of Brighton & Hove
in the UK.
They have also celebrated the one year anniversary
of The Old Market Theatre, which, having renovated it
back in 2011, they now run as a full time venue,
bringing music, theatre, dance, comedy and visual
arts to the UK’s south coast.
Most recently, in August 2012, the largest ever
assembly of STOMP performers (40 performers from
12 different countries) were brought together for a
specifically choreographed appearance in the closing
ceremony of the London 2012 Olympic Games.
STOMP was created with the original U.K. cast:
Luke Cresswell, Nick Dwyer, Sarah Eddy, Theseus Gerard,
Fraser Morrison, David Olrod, Carl Smith and Fiona Wilkes.
