An amazing show that kept my feet tapping all the way through. A must see show.
We saw the show on Tuesday 25th August. From the outset it did not inspire at all. A mediocre set, and a mediocre cast (did they really audition for this) put on what I can only describe as a poor show. The lead for the most part could at times not be bothered to keep up with the click track on which the taps were recorded.
The New York tappers tried to entertain but 'STOMP' it was'nt.
Overall a poor show which I would not recommend.
