That's what it says in the program...a two nighter at Spring Mountain Ranch west Las Vegas lovely outdoor theatre....hope both nights were the same....otherwise I missed something . Quality dance.....they managed to be late with two intermissions.....quasi necessary with many dancers going back to back ! It was supposed to start at 7 ..I was on time they went at 715....19 minutes dance.... 19 minutes intermission....22 minutes dance..... 16 minute intermission and 12 minutes dance....lots of dead time.
Pretty good stuff.....quality dancers...nice music, good costumes....creative new work with a good effort....I loved the dance and gave up the Las Vegas Philharmonic for this...glad I did. Big dancers...mature bodies....8 girls 7 boys.....all very good. Especially like the Ghosts in the Landscape piece....great effort here with 10 costumed dancers with special lighting !
82 B- they lose a lot for being late.
