Oh what a night. Beautifully choreographed beautiful dancers, beautiful music, 2 highlights in one show. Rhapsody in Blue brought me back to the very talented George Gershwin. Great dancers, silver screen highlights of that popular song and how it traveled around the world. Then Falling in Love Again stole my heart. The night club solo singer was fantastic. The costumes and the very talented dancers lifted my spirits and had me going for long after I left the theater. Bravo 

Audience Review

This production was a lot of fun. I can’t imagine the amount of rehearsal that went into this. These young dancers deserve all the credit they can get. They worked so hard and it showed. I like that it was set in NYC as evidenced by the yellow cabs, bagel, Statue of Liberty and of course the subway line. I enjoyed it.

Audience Review

This ballet team is fantastic. Large cast of adults and children. The show was non-stop action and fun. Music was nice. The whole experience was wonderful. Highly recommend this wonderful show.
