Stomp

This isn't exactly a play but my mother just ordered random tickets from Pantages and she didn't know that this was like Blue Man Group-ish. But other than that, these people were amaaaaaaaaazing. Their sense of rhythm and their use of ordinary, everyday things to create music was crazy. Their set was awesome, too. The back wall with all the signs and everything. Wow. This show is really creative and whoever came up with it must be a genius of DaVinci status. I'm probably overexaggerating. But when they strapped themselves to the wall thing and made that crazy rhythm-music thing with the four people jumping around hitting random objects OH DANG. Very cool. My favorite part was definitely with the trashcan lids. I think you could definitely see their passion just by seeing how bent up and weird-looking the lids were after the whole routine. I don't even know how they didn't hurt themselves since their hands were attached to the lids. It looked pretty, sort of, too, because with the lights going and the guys spinning around, the silver trashcans and the trashcan lids had this shiny lightsaber-looking thing going. There was this set of drums in the middle of the stage and the stage must have all these little doors and hidden ladders because I would see one of them playing the drums and something would distract me and then someone else would be there. Although this didn't require much acting, they were still good at it when they needed to be funny. That one little scene in the middle with them reading newspapers and that one guy doing his own little thing and making elephant ears and stuff. Oh gosh, favorite part. My mom's favorite part was the beginning when everyone was using the push brooms and this guy walks in with a guitar case but then he pulls out a push broom, too. I don't know if it's because I'm biased since my mom put me in music classes for more than 70% of my life, but this is seriously my favorite show ever now. I like it even better than Wicked and Rent.
