Kids Show Review: The Amazing Adventures of Harvey and the Princess

August 13th, 2013
I had the pleasure of seeing STOMP in New York City last weekend, and I'm still thinking and talking about it. So is my husband, and my eight-year-old son, who absolutely loved it, and has been practicing his STOMP moves ever since. To say STOMP is amazing is an understatement. I've ...
