I was pleasantly entertained and had a good time watching the show.
Gorgeous and lavish staging and costuming. Exquisite dancing by guest performers from the New York City Ballet, as well as local dancers. I liked that so many children were in the performance. My only disappointment was that the music was not live, no orchestra. It seems ballet should be performed to live music when putting on a production of this magnitude.
I have been going to see this for many of it's 20 years. This Year's performance was one of the best yet. I have always been impressed by the production level and dancing, since this a local show. I also love that you can meet some of the dancers afterward.
Fabulous! Wonderful dancing and choreography! We so enjoyed this performance.
I wasn't quite sure how they were going to tell the story of "The Secret Garden," but there were recorded voices over the music that helped move the story along. There were some amazing dancers and the two girls playing Mary and Dickon (Eliana Vogel and Jennifer Block, respectively) were wonderful for being so young. Vogel's movements were controlled and precise. Her younger sister (Gabrielle Vogel) played a robin and together they were adorable. Jennifer Block is a strong dancer. Not too sure who/what some of the characters were in the ballet, but I was very impressed with the young dancer who played Jump, the White Pony (Leili Rackow.) She was a very accomplished dancer and I enjoyed her whenever she popped onto the stage. Kudos to this local ballet company for putting on such a high level show.
This was a spectacular production with wonderful dancers!!! Beautiful!
The whole show was beautiful and very well done. The choreography and attention to detail was amazing. The dancers were obviously trained by very experienced teachers and performed with grace and beauty.
