    Exquisite

    by stets on 6/11/12Auditorium Theatre - Chicago

    The night of three separate ballets was nothing less than superb. This was an opportunity to see not one male and female lead, but a number of the Joffrey's principle dancers, as they were featured in the three ballets. Exquisite costumes, gorgeous and athletic leads, one not help but be readily attracted to and marval at the talent and precision of this ballet company. Because of the high quality professionalism of this group, and having now seen a number of their performances, they have won me over as a fan of this artistry and I look forward to traveling from central Indiana to the Auditorium Theater for future productions

    Spring Desire was Captivating!

    by Homemom6 on 5/6/12Auditorium Theatre - Chicago

    From beginning to end, I was captivated by it all. Emotionally drawn in and could not help but smile and at another moment sad, but mostly smiling. Very well performed. I highly recommended Spring Desire to all my friends. Go and see it for yourselves. It brought back great memories of young, new love.

    joffrey matinee a great way to spend the day

    by joeng on 5/5/12Auditorium Theatre - Chicago

    We took my mom to the ballet. Loved it. Loved, especially the 3 couples dancing. It was beautiful to watch and the music was soothing. I'd like the ballet to consider shorter snippets, so people who cannot afford a $635 bill for 4 could see ballet. Maybe 1 hour hyper-performances?

    just marvelous Joffrey!

    by wideeyed52912 on 5/4/12Auditorium Theatre - Chicago

    Beautifully done, this performance! Everything from the fantastic dancers, costumes, and staging to our great seats made for an absolutely engaging two hours at the Auditorium Theatre. This was my first experience seeing the Joffrey live. Now I truly envy those who live where they can see such dancing on a regular basis!

    Beautiful and exciting performance

    by ParisO7 on 5/2/12Auditorium Theatre - Chicago

    Wonderful dancing, great choreography and scenery. The music was not the best part except for the piano accompaniment of Chopin. Only minus: the male costumes in the first dance appeared stiff and a little silly.

    Spectacular!

    by MarkSl on 5/2/12Auditorium Theatre - Chicago

    3 varied sets were exceptionally well danced. We drove to Chicago from Minneapolis to see this event and this company as we have done in some previous years. We are always delighted wth Joffrey performances and this one was as powerful as any that we have seen. Don't miss this one!!!

    I was not disappointed in anything about this selection. I went expecting romance and grace and that's what I got.
