HEY, NYC!!! DO YOU FEEL THE RHYTHM?!!! That ultimate urban funky beats is back!! After 16 1/2 months of being shutdown, we are so happy to celebrate the Award winning phenomenon
Stomp as it officially relaunches its Off Broadway run TONIGHT at the Orpheum Theatre in the East Village.
We cannot wait to once again hear those unbelievable sounds of percussions played on brooms, lighters, match boxes, newspapers, garbage cans, and so much more.
As previously mentioned for those who plans to see the show, there are still ongoing COVID-19 pandemic safety precautions underway (especially since Delta Variant cases are rising) consisting of…..
showing proof you are FULLY vaccinated prior before entry into the Theater,
if you are between the ages of 5-11, you are required to take a COVID-19 test prior before attending a performance,
deep cleanings before and after every performance,
all audience members having to wear their face masks for the entire performance,
Along with the show reopening Off Broadway this evening, STOMP will also be bringing those sounds around the world. The show’s US National Tour, London, and International companies are set to relaunch later this year.
We want to wish the full cast, crew. and creative team of STOMP a HAPPY RE-OPENING NIGHT!!! Break a leg!!!!! We missed you!!!!
