Not the Classic Ballet
by Ballet Mom on 9/27/25F.M. Kirby Center - Wilkes BarreRating: 1 out of 5I was excited to see the classic ballet Cinderella with the music from the composer Prokofiev. The trailer shown on this venue's website uses this beautiful melody which drew me to spend $72 to reserve my seat in the Orchestra Section! This was a huge deception! There was no overture which was a huge red flag that music was not going to be what I expected. The music used was mostly a compilation of walz’s from various other composers and not Prokofiev! What a disappointment!! I couldn’t wait till it was over! The backdrops and costumes were wonderful except the very tall wigs worn by the dancers in some scenes were a distraction and exaggerated. The dancing was professional especially the male leads. The mother and stepsisters were too animated and cartoonish. Overall, I did not enjoy this production and I felt misled with the trailer.
