Sun. Dec. 17 How do we feel about "STOMP"? Is it different than how we feel about our upstairs neighbor and his friends when they go gallivanting - now there's a word my mother would us e! - across the living room floor, creating a lovely percussive effect? Well, yes, it is though the barrier you have to get over when you're thinking about the mulitple percussive romps and skits in "STOMP" is do I want to hear that much banging about, however rhythmic? These guys and gals use, as everyone knows, ordinary objects (trash can covers, brooms, Zippo lighters, wooden poles etc.) to make their magic. Its roots, which we can't not love, are in London street theatre. The Boston show at the Colonial Theatre wraps up Sunday Dec. 17 and prices range from $67.50-$37.50. "STOMP" has won London's Tony for choreography, a New York Obie and other such accolades. It's been around 11 years, and the stompin' performance in Boston is being done by the country's only roud group. (There's a New York company and two groups in Eruope.) 106 Boylston St., 617-931-2787 livenation.com
