The show is all physical and dance and comedy based around using normal household objects such as brooms/sinks/bin lids to create incredible music. A must see for everyone!Sat in Circle A12This is the front row centre seat of the circle, offering an amazing view of the full stage looking down. Perfect seat! The legroom on the front row of the circle is slightly tighter than the rest of the views, but still comfortable.

Great for guests who don't speak (much) English as there is absolutely no speaking in this show. Great acrobatic, rhythmic performances and charisma from all performers!Sat in Stalls N10These are sold as restricted view and the overhang does block the very top of the stage. However, there is only one performance act within the show that takes place on the upper level and for the bargain price you can usually get these seats for I wouldn't complain. If you scoot down enough, you'll be able to see almost everything. (We were lucky and had no one sitting in front of us - the rake is quite shallow so I can imagine a tall person in front of this seat might be a problem.) The rest of the show is centre stage and clearly visible form this seat. The theatre is small enough that even from here you are engaged and feel part of the action. For a discount price I would definitely sit here again.

The cast is all immensely talented as percussionists, dancers and overall performers. I really enjoyed the format of multiple short "sketches", using various types of household objects, with different complex rhythms. It's performed very well, with a lot of comedic elements and audience participation in parts. Great fun!Sat in Circle B16The view to the stage was brilliant. Fairly central in the row and the actors were very close. Only one row in front so no heads blocking your view. Legroom was a bit tight, so I was fortunate that no one sat next to me.

I really enjoyed it! There is no or very little story to this show it really just focuses on the utilisation of every day objects to make some incredible music. I think if the show was any longer it would get a little repetitive. The set is intricate and so intense and the performers are so talented! A really great show for anyone who wants to see something very different and interesting!Sat in Stalls B5So this row is front row. I got a day ticket for this last minute and didn't realise what sitting in the front row would entail. The view is brilliant. You can see the whole stage, there is so much legroom and the seats are really comfortable for a one act show! I loved being able to see how the music was being made and being up close to the action was so interesting as I could see the smallest details - be warned though that this should come with a warning of getting wet! I was the only one on the front row so was maybe wearing a target a little but yes they do throw things at you. I would still recommend this seat though as you don't get too wet!

STOMP SEATING PLAN
The Ambassadors Theatre is very small, so pretty much every ticket is great to see and hear the stomping! If you want to be in the thick of the action and amid the noise and chaos, the front of the Stalls is highly recommended. If you would like a touch more peace and quiet, the back of the Dress Circle may be ideal.
STORY
Noise lovers unite! Stomp is the ultimate piece of noisy theatre!
Originally nominated for two Olivier Awards, Stomp began life in the early 90’s, arriving on the West End in 1994 where tickets flew out and returning again in 2002. The show has played to audiences across the globe, with the production largely praised for its wide appeal; the show communicates in sound only, making it perfect for audiences of all languages.
The show takes place on what looks very much like a junk yard, with the surrounding pieces of set often used to create theatrical moments. With this in mind, Stomp explores the endless possibilities of a person’s surroundings and how they can be manipulated to high dramatic effect.
Whilst Stomp does not have a strict narrative, it is tied together by a street theme. Items that one may find in the street such as bins, brooms, pipes, shopping trolleys etc are used to create exhilarating moments of percussion coupled with faultless modern choreography, giving the show an undeniably urban vibe.
The show was created by Steve McNicholas and Luke Cresswell who met as members of street band, Pookiesnackenburger. Together the pair began devising their show, which was driven by their expert street percussion skills.
Stomp is a great piece of theatre for curious minds and explorers alike and delivers a skillful lesson in how to work with one’s own environment. This show really is something that everyone must experience at least once, so don't miss out on your chance to get Stomp tickets.
