The show was really well done. I wasn't sure what to expect - a Dance Thriller? I had seen the film when it came out and remember thinking how bonkers it all was - and of course Natalie Portman's performance. I have never witnessed such phenomenal dancing on stage - lean, precise, tight, sexy. There are a few numbers in Act One that have that magic - great music, acting, stagecraft and direction. Act Two I think needs some tightening up for sure - but fully enjoyable. Taylor Iman is a force - what talent. And Melaine Moore who plays Nina is doing exceptional star making Tony Level acting, dancing and singing on that stage. A shoo-in for Best Actress if this were to find a life on Broadway which I truly hope it does. Lean into the trippy use of sound design, Electronic Beats for an even more visual stunning evening.
Excellent stagecraft and direction. Get thee to the American Repertory Theater between now and they have extended until July 12
