Loved the ever-changing set design and was impressed with the elaborate costumes. An hour of singing and storytelling in a theatre that offers a more intimate feel than the Majestic.
Excellent. Would have liked it to be a little longer. The end felt rushed.
The musical was colorful. and meaningful as it talked about Princess Amber who is brave and curious and her father King Lapiz and three fairies; Ruby, Periwinkle. and Marigold...scared Prince Hunter and the not so evil Magenta...who casts a sleeping spell on Amber because Magenta is angry that purple was made to leave the Kingdom of Color. The costumes were incredible and the songs memorable...plus a good lesson about accepting others differences.
My six year old loved it, but the dragon scared the two year old quite a bit. As always, the theater is perfect for kids, interactive yet not distracting, and not a bad seat in the house. The actors were phenomenal! I love going to their kids theater and can't wait to see the next one!
We took my 4 year granddaughter to see the Children's Theatre presentation of Sleeping Beauty. The actors were great and I loved the intimate environment of the theater.
I was very impressed with how professional and serious all the actors were. The overall play was very well created/directed, the singing and dancing scenes were colorful and engaging, and the play had a wonderful mix of action, comedy and drama.
My 3 year old and 16 month old both sat and watched the entire thing. It was very entertaining and the perfect length. The kids did a great job.
We bought these tickets expecting this live performance to be at least somewhat true to the original story. It was not and it really disappointed our 4 year old who was so very excited to see her first "real" show. At least Sleeping Beauty could have had blond hair but she didn't! It was hard to explain why it was different from the story. Oh well
Of all the princess stories ,Sleeping Beauty is my 5 yo grand daughter's Favorite . She was very excited to be going to see this in a live performance , and was not disappointed ! The cast was perfect ! Very good singing , lively acting & overall a very good show ! We're looking forward to another show @ this venue .
It was a lot of fun and my niece's loved it. I will go again next year.
love every minute !!!!!!!! after the show got to meet the cast and take pictured
Every time Butler Ballet takes the stage, they are fantastic. So many talented dancers, wonderful sets and costumes, live music - it was a real treat.
Highly recommend- thought i was in New York, I was very impressed!!!
This performance was truly amazing. This was an experience I will never forget. It was very professionally done and I would love to see it again. The orchestra was especially amazing. Very good musicians
Took a 6 yr and 4 yr old they loved it. Was 3 hours and they were never bored. Had a great time.
I don't think we've ever left a cultural event early, but we left this one at the first intermission...
This was one of the BEST ballets I have ever seen and I have been to quite a few performances in my time. The dancers were magnificent and the costumes were spectacular! I was surprised to find out that the show lasted three hours. Time flew by as I watched the show. There was not a dull moment. Thank you dancers for a wonderful evening!
Beautiful production. Very good dancers. Did the whole ballet, leaving out only maybe a couple of minor characters. Did not change the steps unlike many other companies, which I see as a big plus.
Not much more to say. Professional, exquisite to view, enjoyable, gorgeous sets, etc. etc.
I've been to ballets in small towns before. Heck, I've been to the ballet in Fairbanks, Alaska where there is no "real" ballet company. I've been to fancy ballets in Atlanta, Georgia. Never, in all my life have I ever seen a ballet where the story had to be narrated it was so bad. Instead we were told what the story was and the dance was more like, "... and I can do this... and this... and watch me do this... and see how good I am at this... and ..." The lead was wobbly and had trouble balancing and there was even one dancer who didn't look like she was wearing a bra. She was jiggling all over the place and was completely inappropriate. The shock and disappointment of the whole thing is really saddening. My daughter, my son-in-law, and my husband all agreed that this was more like a dance recital than a real ballet. How very unfair that we spent $15 when it was worth much less. I'm sorry to be so brutal in my review, but I don't know how else to say it. I am full aware that I am no dancer and I would obviously do much worse, but then again, I'm not getting paid to dance (or direct) either. In truth the dancing wasn't horrible, if not just undeniably inexperienced, but the direction was the worst I have ever encountered in all my life and believe me when I say, I have seen some in the boonies. I will never again drive all the way to Pensacola for a ballet of any kind whatsoever.
