  Queen Mad was true to her character's allure. Enchanting, dangerous and effortless in movement. Juliet was the picture of innocence and young love. Overall, the choreography was amazing. This version is filled with symbols and imagery in hopes of bring the full scope of Shakespeare's tragic tale to life. The problem is that, one got lost in the imagery. It was more like a labyrinth than a love story. Reading the program did not help. Over all, it was a great performance. Just bring a cliff note along. Collapse
