![]() Somewhere between drummers and hard-charging ballet dancers, the eight performers who make up a Stomp show spend their time in the spotlight making purely percussive music with implements as everyday as brooms, sinks, and newspapers. But keeping all that metal garbage shiny and safe is almost a full-time job in itself, since this set probably takes more of a pounding in a week than the stage for Hello Dolly gets in a decade. ![]() Industrial rejects like old shocks, struts, barrels, and hubcaps litter the walls, almost any of it fair game for a good smashing by the good people of Stomp. For anyone who’s been to Stomp at its NYC home (the show also regularly plays in San Francisco, Austin, Texas and Warsaw, Poland) in the East Village’s Orpheum Theatre, the set looks suspiciously like the mutant offspring of a towering stage and an abandoned junkyard.
