STOMP Biography

STOMP is a percussion-driven theatrical production that transforms everyday objects into instruments and uses the human body as a rhythmic element. Created by Luke Cresswell and Steve McNicholas, STOMP originated in Brighton, England, following a decade-long creative partnership. Cresswell and McNicholas previously collaborated as members of the street band Pookiesnackenburger and the theater group Cliff Hanger, presenting street comedy musicals at the Edinburgh Festival in the early 1980s. Their work included touring across Europe, producing two albums, and creating a 'Bins' commercial for Heineken lager, which inspired STOMP's dustbin sequence. STOMP previewed at London's Bloomsbury Theatre before its official premiere at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. Cresswell, a self-taught percussionist, and McNicholas, a musician, actor, singer, and writer, combined their backgrounds in street performance and musical theater to develop the show.

The production features an eight-member troupe that uses unconventional percussion instruments such as matchboxes, wooden poles, brooms, garbage cans, Zippo lighters, and hubcaps to create rhythms, acrobatics, and visual comedy. With no dialogue, STOMP communicates across languages and cultures, appealing to audiences of all ages. Following its UK debut, the show began an Off-Broadway run at New York's Orpheum Theatre, where it played 13 previews and 11,475 performances over nearly 29 years. STOMP also held a 15-year residency in London's West End and had extended productions in San Francisco, Boston, and Las Vegas, while continuing to tour North America, Europe, Latin America, and Asia.

STOMP has received several honors, including the Laurence Olivier Award for Best Theatre Choreography, a New York Obie Award, a Drama Desk Award for Unique Theatre Experience, an Academy Award nomination, four Emmy nominations, and one Emmy Award for the HBO special "Stomp Out Loud." Cresswell and McNicholas also co-directed the IMAX film "Pulse: A STOMP Odyssey" and the 3D IMAX movie "Wild Ocean." Their additional projects include "The Lost & Found Orchestra," a symphonic performance using found objects, which has toured internationally.

STOMP has performed at the Academy Awards, appeared on "Mister Rogers' Neighborhood," and contributed to the musical segment of the London Olympic Games Closing Ceremony. The company has performed in more than 50 countries for over 26 million people, maintaining a global presence in live entertainment, percussion performance, and physical theater. STOMP continues to demonstrate the universal language of rhythm and the creative potential of found sound.
