STOMP began it's run at the Orpheum Theatre in New York, after a sell-out run at Sadler's Wells in London's West End, in February '94. The show is still running in New York with an all American cast. STOMP was nominated for "Best Entertainment" in the 1994 Olivier awards, going on to win the "Best Choreography" Olivier, an Obie and a Drama Desk Award for "Most Unique Theatre Experience."
More recently the cast of STOMP recorded music for the "Tank Girl" movie soundtrack and will appear on the forthcoming Quincy Jones album "Q's Jook Joint." They were also featured in a series of three commercials directed by Steve and Luke for Target stores (which won "Best Campaign of the Year" at the RAA awards). The New York cast currently appears in the "Mr. Frear's Ears" series of short films created for Nickelodeon, whilst "Brooms," twelve minute short featuring members of both casts, premiered in London.
In September of 1995, the original cast, after sell-out tours across The States and in Japan, performed an expanded version of the show in the open air amphitheater at The Acropolis in Athens. |
