E4 Udderbelly, 17-22nd May 2010

We’re excited to announce that BOXED, Shlomo’s theatrical beatbox show, is back for one week only at the E4 Udderbelly, an upside-down purple cow on London’s Southbank!

Join our beatboxing heroes Shlomo and the Vocal Orchestra on an epic escapade as they travel to the future and back via outer space, dropping slick theatrics and soulful vocal gymnastics along the way. Pure raw talent mixed with innovative and imaginative use of their 10 voices lead to an adrenaline-charged vocal performance reminiscent of Stomp, Into the Hoods or Blue Man Group.

“An effervescent, energetic, audience-grabbing show – the all-vocal versions of Stevie Wonder’s Superstition and OutKast’s Hey Ya were both roaring, rousing show-stoppers.” The Times

We had a fantastic (sold out!) three-night run at Udderbelly, the upside down purple cow theatre venue that seats 400 people. It was so much fun.

Standing ovation!

We were trying out a new aspect to the Vocal Orchestra show, with a more theatrical style to it.. Over the next couple of years I’m planning to create a full theatre show, along the lines of something like Stomp, but using only the voice.

The Evening Standard described the show as ’slick theatrics’ which is amazing considering how little time we had to throw it together, with no budget whatsoever, just a lot of goodwill and talent! so big thanks to all who have been involved, and to those that came down to support. Cannot wait for phase 2!!!

Next stop GLASTO!
