Dinner + a show: "Stomp"

After 30-plus years, "Stomp" remains a unique theatrical experience.

The intrigue: The rhythm and percussion showcase that began in England in 1991 stops at Connor Palace with multiple showtimes through Sunday.

• "Stomp" features eight performers creating unconventional beats and movements using everything from garbage cans and matchboxes to brooms and shopping carts.

💭 Troy's thought bubble: I saw the show Wednesday, and it was exceptional.

• It's also appropriate for all ages.

If you go: Tickets start at $20.

Worthy of your time: Hofbräuhaus is the perfect place to eat beforehand, right across from the Playhouse Square parking garage.

• The venue has a great selection of German food and drinks, including some of Northeast Ohio's best pierogies.
