Its the mom, I also agree! I thought Bale's review was unwarranted and short-sighted. I loved seeing Boston Ballet do this. Even if it was not perfect and may still need some refinement in certain areas - which of course is necessary to point out when reviewing, it was still a treat to see here in our city and I applaud it. I thought it was a great step forward for the company.
I attended Saturday night's performance, and will be attending again this Thursday to see a different cast.
I not only loved seeing the children so involved on stage with the ballet, but there were also many in the audience who were thoroughly involved - laughing at the right bits, applauding. It was great.
