Why it’s a Weeknight Watch
With almost no lasting buzz and soft box office, it's a mixed bag. Fine if it's on; don't plan your night around it.
Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.Is it for you?
- Who'll love it
- If you count yourself among people who'll be humming afterwards and anyone who wants a laugh, this one's for you. The music is woven into the story, not just laid on top. Sits nicely alongside A Hard Day's Night or Gentlemen Prefer Blondes.
- The mood
- Light and funny.
- The pace
- Light on its feet, at 50 min. Short enough for a weeknight.
- What might put you off
- Skip it if you're after something serious tonight.
Stomp is a rhythmic, musical extravaganza that has stunned audiences across the globe. If you weren't lucky enough to catch them in your hometown (or you did and you crave more), now there's Stomp Out Loud, a special HBO performance that will bring the unusual musical feats right into your living room. You might just find yourself grabbing a broom or even your remote control to keep time. "It's comedy, it's theater, it's very physical, it's energetic, it's occasionally quite terrifying," says one performer. Taking their show from the theater to the streets, this astonishing troupe can make music out of just about anything and just about anywhere. --Dana Van Nest
