One the cast members were making me laugh so much I was choking and crying I didn't thing I would be able to get through the whole show. The set set was really good but basic. It suits the show though.Sat in Stalls B4The seat was very very comfortable. There was a lot of legroom. My view was amazing.

The cast made me laugh even more because they were laughing as well. The set was one basic set but was cool.Sat in Stalls B6I could see all of the stage. The legroom was amazing along with the comfort.

Very creative use of ordinary everyday objects to create beats and rhythms. My children (8 and 11 years) were very inspired and were knocking out rhythms on anything they could find on the way home! The whole show literally didn't miss a beat during the whole 1.5 hours but my favourite parts had to be the Zippo lighters and the stainless steel sinks! If you love creativity and beats then this is definitely the show for you!Sat in Circle G11For me personally this was a fantastic seat. Central position and great view of the stage. This seat worked for me as I'm 5'4 and don't need much leg room. I'd say there was approx. 5-6 inches between my knees and the gallery wall. So tall/long legged people would not be comfortable there. It's such a small theatre that I don't think there are any seats where you wouldn't have a great view.

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.
