Matthew Bourne’s Swan Lake: The International Dance Sensation Returns to New York Reviews & Ratings

BRAVO- EXCELLENT- most enjoyable show- the Male Swans- what can I say beautiful.... No live Orchestra- didnt effect the show- the story was touching- especially in these times of cruelness to gay people........was the Swan gay? and The Prince...continued

Don't miss it! (Maybe not suitable for young children. Up to parents to decide.)

Excellent.

I read the storyline prior to attending this event and it seemed that the storyline I read did not at all match what I saw on stage. Possible that I read the wrong storyline, possible that the interpretation was different, possible that I just...continued

I've seen a couple Swan Lake productions and work inside the dance world. This show is a magnificent piece of art, that any true dancelover should see at least once.

The dancers are amazing!!! If you're expecting traditional ballet...you will be disappointed...but if you want to see a magical, imaginative and stirring dance evening...you are going to be very happy.

This show is one of the most visually stunning shows I've seen. I loved every minute of it and found the portrayal of the swans by the male dancers elegant and strong... I LOVED IT

This was a very modern interpretation for a ballet. The stage and the dancing was beautiful, but if you were expecting a classic ballet you would be very surprised by this production. I would recommend this event to a friend, but wasn't so...continued

Wasn't really what I was expecting. I'm not a big fan of theatrical dance and was hoping this would be more of a contemporary take on Swan Lake. Instead it was a more satirical take and I wasn't overly impressed with the dancing

Wonderful and creative performance. We really loved it.

A superb evening of theater; however,the canned music was a minus...saw the original on Broadway with a live pit, and it made all the diference in the world.

Bourne's Swan Lake was intense, sexy, creative, and exciting--everything a good contemporary ballet should be. I'm so glad that more tickets became available on Goldstar so that I wouldn't miss out on seeing this production. The seats were...continued

Brilliant, funny, visually interesting, and some very good dancing.
Bravo.

I went to see it last night. After reading all positive reviews in newspapers and online, I expected a better dancing. Also, the story feels like a combination of a Swan lake and Ugly Duckling which did not add to originality of this project. In...continued

Matthew Bourne's Swan Lake was unforgettable! Bourne's conception and modernization of the classic ballet is tasteful and a perfect theatrical experience for our current time. As a fellow audience member said during the talk back, "I was Bourne...continued

The dancers, the sets, the swan costumes and the entire choreography was absolutely amazing. A fantastic show I will remember fir a long time.

The dancing and staging was superb. While my seat was in the far back of the balcony, I was able to view about 98% of the set and performers. Only when the actions of the performers occurred at the very back of the stage was my view...continued

The lack of live music is a serious disappointment, but very interesting and original production

AMAZING SHOW

Contemporary, very interesting take on a classic. Still very moving. Made me almost cry at the end. The performers are more than dancers in this production. They are more like actors dancing. Definitely, a must see!
