Stomp does not look like something either of us would be interested in. Has anyone seen it and liked it???

Also- are the female singers throughout the show or would it be possible for my husband to leave for the restroom during those 2 songs...?

I saw Stomp many years ago with a friend, iirc there wasnt any singing and we really enjoyed it. groupon had cheap tickets recently and I wanted to take my kids but you can only buy 6 at a time. my dh probably would not enjoy it as much as I did, so its hard to say if you will or not.

That sounds like something that may work for me..
It's actually one Shakespeare play I never read, but I can read the plot online and see if interests me, but can you describe theatrically the difference in the performance between a Shakespeare play on Broadway and a musical? I have been to musicals and what I love is the set, the costumes, the grandiosity of the performance. Are the Shakespeare play as much a 3d experience?

Absolutely. There's live music, singing, comedy, gorgeous costumes.

The singing is all men?
