I highly recommend Matthew Bourne's ballet "The Red Shoes" which I saw last night in Charlotte NC. I believe it will be in NYC next week and is must see for dance lovers.

This ballet is gorgeous. I loved every second of it. Highly recommend.
The sets and lighting were used extremely creatively and served the piece very well. The choreography was stunning, as was the execution. I loved the score.
Tonight's performance was stopped about 25 minutes into the first act - there appeared to be a malfunction with the faux proscenium that moves throughout the show. It was handled quickly, quietly, and professionally - the dancers left the stage, the music stopped, an announcement was made that the performance would be pausing, the curtain came down, and less than 5 minutes later, another announcement informed the audience that the performance would be resuming. The rest of the show went off without a hitch. The malfunction did not detract from my enjoyment whatsoever - I felt very fulfilled at the end of the evening. I can't recommend this ballet highly enough.
