What's the Pointe, Exactly? 'The Studio' Isn't Saying.

Dance: 10, Play: 3.
In "The Studio," the efficient, exquisitely conditioned bodies move. The words, unfortunately, do not. Christopher d'Amboise's somber, angst-ridden paean to the choreographer's art is an earnest attempt at distilling the tension in the ballet rehearsal room. But for all "The Studio's" pliable grace, the characters who inhabit it are stiffs.

Posted: 11/17/07 at 10:19pmThat's disappointing. I went looking for some reviews and that seems to be the only really negative one I'm finding. After reading more about it, the play as a whole sounds really interesting.

Isherwood reviewed it for the Times as well. His was a bit mixed too...but more so on the play itself. His major complaint was the cliche story line, if I remember correctly.
I saw the show and really enjoyed it. The dancing was fantastic and I was pulled into the story. The concept and the way the story was told was different that your usual play. Just my two cents.
