THE SLEEPING BEAUTY

BY ED BRUCE edbrucevegas@yahoo.com

I HAVE BEEN ANXIOUSLY AWAITING THIS SHOW AND WRITING THIS REVIEW.




I WAS NOT DISAPPOINTED

AS USUAL ....RANDOM THOUGHTS AND REACTIONS FROM THE NEVADA BALLET
THEATRES SUPER SPECTACULAR PRODUCTION...

STILL AMAZES ME THAT THEY COULD PUT A MILLION DOLLARS INTO THIS
PERFECTLY CONSTRUCTED MASTERPIECE AND NOT START ON TIME......8 LATE

ANYWAY.. IN 1890 THIS GEM APPEARED ORIGINALLY IN ST PETERSBURG UNDER THE
CHOREOGRAPHY OF MARIUS PETIPA.....NBT USED THE SAME CHOREOGRAPHY WITH
SOME TOUCHING UP.....HOWEVER GOOD IT WAS IN 1890 IT COULD NOT HAVE BEEN
BETTER THAN THIS !

EVERYTHING PERFECT ...BEAUTIFUL....LIGHTING PETER JAKUBOWSKI....COSTUME AND SCENIC DESIGN PETER FARMER.....ADDITIONAL CHOREOGRAPHY BY JAMES
CANFIELD....(JAMES, YOU HAVE REALLY GOT A GRIP ON THIS....THANK YOU)......
AND OF COURSE THE WORLDS GREATEST DEAD COMPOSER.....(THAT TIL PAUL
MCCARTNEY DIES).....TCHIAKOVSKY 1840-1893 .... JUST THE BEST AND BETTER YET
....................................................THE NBT FOLLOWS THIS WITH THE NUTCRACKER AND SWAN LAKE.....HOPE I LIKE LONG ENOUGH TO ENJOY ALL THIS..

702 749 2000   GET TICKETS NOW.....YOU WILL THANK ME !

THE OVERALL PANORAMA OF THIS...THE SETS.....THE DANCING...(CHRISTINA GHIARDI)  YOU ARE STILL MY FAVORITE....LOTS OF LITTLE THINGS....OFF CENTER
POSES.....OFF CENTER STAGING....TIMING.....EVERYONE HIT THEIR MARKS....IT WAS
JUST GORGEOUS...

NBT AND LAS VEGAS PHIL IN A CONSTANT BATTLE TO WORK TO THE TOP OF MY
LOVE LIST......DEAD HEAT .....AND NBT MOST RECENT EDGES ABOVE.

DO YOURSELF A FAVOR AND DO THE NUTCRACKER AND SWAN LAKE...
