LAWRENCE -- The Lied Center of Kansas Broadway & Beyond Series, The BleuJacket, The Kansas City Star and Kief's Audio/Video present STOMP. The percussion group performs at 7:30 p.m. Friday, Feb. 8; 5 p.m. and 9 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 9; and 2 p.m. Sunday, Feb. 10.
From its beginnings as a street performance in the United Kingdom, this extraordinary group has grown into a global phenomenon, with five international touring companies. STOMP has performed at the Lied Center twice before, in February 1997 and October 1998.
After playing for more than six seasons, STOMP continues its run with one North American touring company, while the New York company sustains its sell-out run at the Orpheum Theatre.
This ensemble uses everything -- trash cans, tea chests, plastic bags, plungers, boots, hubcaps -- to fill the stage with compelling, infectious rhythms.
Tickets for reserved seats for STOMP are still available at the Lied Center, (785) 864-2787 (voice) or (785) 864-2777 (TTY); Murphy Hall, (785) 864-3982; SUA, (785) 864-SHOW; TicketMaster, (785) 234-4545 or (816) 931-3330; and Tickets.com.
