Uninspired, dated choreography. Hope this dance troupe can soon invite some guest choreographers to spice up their repertoire.

Also, the Dorothy Chandler is a depressing venue. It also is overdue for a renovation.

This is a very enjoyable performance with dancers, though not the best in the world, still very very good. This is a good first ballet to take children to. It's a comic ballet with broad humor children will enjoy. Also, it's not very long 2 hours including 2 intermissions, so children are unlikely to be bored.

This ballet was not only technically astounding, it also was incredibly beautiful and inspiring. I don't understand the negative reviews but the vast majority of the audience certainly did not agree with the nay-sayers. The audience broke out in extended applause numerous times throughout the performance and gave a lengthy standing ovation at the end. It was fun, funny, sweet and tender. We had great seats. Thanks, Goldstar!

This show is everything I had imagined it to be and more! With world class performers, gorgeous costumes and set design, incredible music, and a beautiful well-thought out story, it is an experience hard to forget! Thanks Goldstar for offering such an incredible deal. Our plush Founder's Circle seats made the experience even more enjoyable. This show is definitely worth every penny that you decide to spend on it. I recommend it highly if you love classical music and ballet.
