The Sleeping Beauty Tickets

This was just a lovely experience. The dancing, the costumes, the music. There was so much dancing - it is three hours long! - and so many different types of dancing, that we really got a sense of the whole company's strengths, from the corps to the principals. We left fully satisfied and the beautiful images have been staying with me all week! I only wish that the dragon scene was longer! I loved that dragon.

The dancing and costumes were beautiful, but it was just a little bit too long. 3 1/2 hours is a long time to watch a ballet. It was hard for my daughter (age 39 w/disabilities) to understand the interpretation without my narative and this was a long time for her to sit and remain interested.

Sleeping Beauty was magnificently performed in this beautiful ballet. It filled you with a magical and romantic feeling, not to be forgotten too soon!

Outstanding cast of ballerinas. Beautiful costumes.

This was a children's recital--not a ballet. I paid $100 for two tickets to see a children's recital. This is not a professional ballet show and should not be marketed as such. The children were sweet and I could tell that they worked hard and made their parents proud. However, for what I paid I expected to see a professional show not a dance recital.

I don't usually relate to Ballets, they don't always tell the story they are meant to tell, but this one was excellent. I took my granddaughter in law and two great grandchildren, both in local ballet, and all enjoyed it immensely

The lead dancers were very good. The young lady that was sleeping beauty was amazing in skill. The down fall for the show as a whole was there was a lot of inexperienced dancers in the company. The did a good job for being as young as they were but when you pay a professional price you expect professional ballet. It was reminiscent of a childs recital at times. Very cute but not worth the high cost of admission. It was the same as paying for a 5 star steak dinner and getting a happy meal instead. This was a birthday date for my wife and we agreed in the disappointment.

Most beautiful music written for ballet. Gorgeous dancing and costumes. But, at three hours, TOO LONG. There were several solo/duet pieces, especially in the last act that were performer showcases, but unnecessary to the story line. There were also several other places where the ballet could have been shortened. The additional of other characters, e.g., Puss N Boots, Red Riding Hood, etc. do not add to the story line, either. This was my first time seeing Sleeping Beauty. I will not go again unless I see that it has been significantly shortened.

The entire program from start to finish was absolutely fantastic. The music and dancing were both marvelous. I am just sorry the place was not filled to capacity to support the programs or so more people could have enjoyed the experience.

We enjoyed this excellent performance of Sleeping Beauty. The costumes and scenery were lavish. The dancers were graceful and skilled. And the orchestra added wonderful musical talents to make the entire performance grand experience.

Although I realize that this was a student production there were more "low lights" than highlights. Some of those in principle roles were not up to the task, There was, however, some brilliance shown by those who had smaller roles (Act III). The ensemble was out of sync almost constantly. I shudder to think what JCA will do with/to Swan Lake.

Amazing orchestra play and production. A little long

It was far too long. While I think the ballet artists on stage did a good job and were very talented, the ballet started at 8 p.m. and lasted until 11! My husband and I were so tired we were ready to just leave while it was still going on. Also, I think ushers (or someone) need to do a better job of keeping people in line. There was a little girl in our row who talked the entire way through, got up in the aisle to dance, conduct the orchestra, and clap while no one else was clapping. We were not far into the row and the ushers were sitting right by us. It was a major distraction. People around them shushed them, and when that didn't work, they left their seats. Overall: It was a talented performance that simply went far too long.

Dancers were very good and some of the choreography was quite unique. The scenery was OK except for the prologue which was awful and had nothing to do with the rest of the set. Would have worked better half intensity or not at all. Seems to me that someone with a little more artistic integrity would expect better.

Fantastic show! The dancing was beautiful, the music was great....wonderful night!!

The Sleeping Beauty was Spectacular!! Amazing performance...Amazing dancers. The artistry, choreography, the intricate techniques displayed by each dancer was phenomenal. I am looking forward to another performance.

The ballet was exceptional, I love to see Russian performances, they have a unique style. I'm a little disappointed because they were no scenery changes. I've seen Sleeping Beauty eight or ten times with different ballet companies and most of them had scenery changes which was great. What happen to the Orchestra ? They should've been a live orchestra for what I paid for seating :( I've paid less for ballets with a live orchestera.

The ballet was beautifully done! The dancers were phenomenal and have great talent.

It was was good! It was worth to see. Beautiful ballet...

The theater was fantastic and beautiful. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The performance was spectacular and the dancers extremely talented. I would definitely recommend this event to anyone.
