I can never get enough of Alvin Ailey's performances. I wish they would come to Chicago more than once a year just so that I could watch Rocka My Soul
I've followed Alvin Ailey since the late 1970s and this is one of the best shows ever. The solo dance and choreography was awesome. Male dancers were incredible and Revelations, as usual, was amazing, inspirational and moving.
It was superb and magnificent and absolutely stunning. I love the dirersity of dancers that's been added. The troupe now has an international flavor to savor. But Guillermo - my man - your chest is broad and bold BUT that belly could stand to be trimmed down. When you do certain moves it protrubes beyond the greatness of your skill.
As usual, Alvin Ailey dancers are strong performers who grab the audience's attention. The Otis Redding piece was bright and fun, something that dance companies need to do more of. There is often too much focus on serious, meaningful pieces but the Otis Redding number had a great balance of fun and humor as well. In/Side was also a unique number that showed off a strong dancer. Revelations is always a wonderful ballet to watch! I always have to hold back from getting up and dancing along with them!
I took my daughter for a graduation present, we have seen the company before but it was just amazing and exceptional this time. I enjoyed the theater in Chicago too.
Superb. What a treat to see Judith take a bow at the end.
Alvin Ailey Dance Company is aways keeping the art of dance alive!!!!!!!!! Thank you!!!!!!!!! I am sad Judith is leaving, althought the new works are fabulous!!!!!!!!!!!! I will stop crying now. Would love to someday meet Judith, I missed her in the lobby. It was my dream to dance with the company. Much love to Alvin Ailey!!!!!!!!! Outstanding theater!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I haven't seen this company in quite a while and that is a shame because I have rarely seen an event as exciting and moving. the mix of great talent and wonderful choreography was amazing. truly moving.
The show was powerful and invigorating. The dancers were exceptionally coordinated.
Words are never enough to describe the beauty and talent displayed by the Alvin Ailey Dance Theater. It was an experience not to be missed!
Best show I've seen in a while!! I am so glad I was able to see Revelations! I have never seen it before, but I would LOVE to see it again!!!
Over the years I have seen Alvin Ailey 3 times at the Auditorium and it never fails to mesmirize! I hope I am lucky enought to see them many more times.
Really moving dancers and choreography. Dancers with beautiful sculpted bodies.
Great experience…you can tell that a lot of time and effort was put into this production. The location was great also, not a bad seat in the house and we actually set in the very last row on the main floor.
It was a great show!!! I am always happy to support the arts! If you should have the chance to see Alvin Ailey... Go and take a friend you will love it!!!
I try to see at least one performance every year. This year, I invited a friend who had never experienced the dance company. She enjoyed the show so much that she has this as an annual event for herself
Excellent performance. Enjoyed the event. was a great family outing
I make sure i get tickets for Alvin Ailey EVERY year! And I have never been disapointed! This years show they had 3 new pieces, and of course Revelations is the most amazing piece of choreography i have ever seen! I love the Ailvin Ailey Company!!!!!
This is a event that I share with my now 21 yr old daughter....AND WE LOVED IT!!!!!!! Words can't express how amazing the show was.....will continue to go every year it's here in Chicago.
I would like to expose the elementary students at Ruggle Elementary to the cast of this dance theatre. I believe that a practical magic is in play in this performance. The magic of discipline, study, sacrifice and determination can be imparted to underserved youth in encouraging them to dream, but also to set a plan for the accomplishment or attainment of their dreams.
