...performers expect the audience to enjoy themselves. The response of the crowd resembles that at a concert--screaming, yelling and whistling are encouraged. If you're looking for a solemn play then see something else. If you're looking for a rocking good time and entertainment at its best, Stomp caters to your needs. The experience begins when Shaka Opare leads the audience into the world of Stomp. With only a stare of approval or reproach, he periodically incorporates the clapping audience into the performance itself. In fact, the entire encore focuses on audience involvement.

...After an unnotable opening DJ set by DJ Genaside 2, things started off with "Anti Histamine," a B-side that started off as a remake of Blondie's "Heart of Glass." While the chorus was still recognizably Blondie, the song was transformed into a bruised industrial stomp. Tricky's numerous remakes proved to be the high points of the evening. Among the crowd pleasers was "Black Steel," which turned Public Enemy's classic "Black Steel in the Hour of Chaos" into full-bore rock, and, what's more, made white kids from the suburbs dance to it.
