“The launch of the inaugural Broadway at the Tivoli was a tremendous success, both for the Theatre and downtown.
Not only did our patrons have a premier Broadway experience, the neighboring businesses and community experienced a reinvigorated downtown climate on show nights,” says Nick Wilkinson with the Tivoli Theatre Foundation. “We are thrilled to build on the success of the first season and continue putting the Tivoli on the map as a destination for some of the highest quality Broadway entertainment in the South.”

Sunday Morning
The season closes with
STOMP: explosive, provocative, sophisticated, sexy, utterly unique and appealing to audiences of all ages. The international percussion sensation has garnered an armful of awards and rave reviews, and has appeared on numerous national television shows. The eight-member troupe uses everything but conventional percussion instruments – matchboxes, wooden poles, brooms, garbage cans, Zippo lighters, hubcaps – to fill the stage with magnificent rhythms. The return of the percussive hit also brings some new surprises, with some sections of the show now updated and restructured and the addition of two new full-scale routines, utilizing props like tractor tire inner tubes and paint cans. As USA Today says, “STOMP finds beautiful noises in the strangest places.” STOMP. See what all the noise is about.
