The European company was created in 1997 and began its London run at the Vaudeville Theatre in 2002, transferring to the Ambassadors Theatre in 2007.

West End production of STOMP breaks records!

Ahead of its thirteenth birthday, celebrations have begun early for STOMP in London with two record-breaking performances at the Ambassadors Theatre on Saturday 14th February. 

The evening show was the highest grossing performance of any production in the 102-year history of the theatre. It was also the highest grossing Saturday matinee in the theatre's history, meaning Box Office records were broken twice on Valentine’s Day.

Celebrations will continue on Monday 11th May, when STOMP will host a Gala Night for Teenagers to acknowledge its own 13th Birthday in London.
