Not like SCB in years past
by Ballet mom on 12/10/24Center Theatre at North Shore Center for the Performing Arts - SkokieRating: 3 out of 5While my family and enjoyed the performance, there were some things that were disappointing. First, there were no programs, I had to ask about a QR code and then one usher came around with an image to scan. The dancing was good.
The sets and costumes had been updated from the originals which was also good. The music was very loud - at times way too loud. (Although it did cover up a lot of the noisy kids in the audience.). There were also several very noticeable pauses, silence, in the music between dances in the second act. Bows are expected but there were too many any they get dragged out.
This performance just seemed less professional than in past years.
Thanks for a way to give feedback.
