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. The opening sequence shows them dangling by harnesses across the back of a Manhattan billboard drumming on hubcaps, pipes, street signs, and plastic garbage pails, all the while swaying and keeping in perfect time. You know how you like to groove along to the radio while driving? Stomp doesn't need a radio--they use their hands to make their own music while cruising the streets of New York. Using just basketballs in a steamy alleyway, the troop creates an incredibly intricate dance and sound with the street, brick walls, and Dumpsters. Included in the program are the push broom, garbage can, and pole dances, just a few of their best-known sequences. Stomp Out Loud showcases the performers in the theater, out about town, and in short humorous vignettes (love the recurring card game!). All in all, they amaze. This well-produced video also includes a trailer and a special behind-the-scenes look at the making of Stomp Out Loud. --Dana Van Nest

 NINE TIME STOMP May 14, 2008
I've seen "Stomp" in New York City eight times -- and strongly suspect more to come. Meanwhile, how wonderful to own Stop Out Loud which I remember having seen on TV and loving it as much as the live show. My only negative is that the creators of Stomp should (to quote Stephen Sondheim) GIVE US MORE TO SEE!
 Skips on DVD April 9, 2008

I bought this DVD to use in my music classroom, and was disappointed that the first viewing came along with a few skips where I had to skip through some parts of the show. Too bad - The students were disapointed as well.
This was a manufacturing problem rather than an Amazon problem. Amazon has always been reliable in general.
 Enjoyed it March 26, 2008
Good video. Thought it was going to be a taping of one of their performances, but were please to find that it was not. Made it more interesting in that there were things on the DVD that could not be done on a stage.
Stomp your feet to the beat March 8, 2008
This group is amazing to watch. How can a couple of ordinary brooms make so much music. Basketballs, a deck of cards. Incredible. We've watched this many times and still enjoy it. Would love to see them in concert. For music with a different twist--check this out.
Stomp Out Loud January 7, 2008
