"....a sumptuous production that features an exceptional cast, gorgeous creative elements, and exquisite choreography and direction by Kurtis Overby, ABT's Associate Artistic Director....this work, which features dozens of scenes, numerous locations, and a range of dance styles, has to be the best and most elaborate work of his that I've seen. From ballet to jazz and even a bit of tap, Overby uses many forms of dance to create numerous showstopping moments as well as musical numbers that are full of passion and romance. All of these numbers are danced by a gifted cast, including an exceptional ensemble. " -Gil Benbrook, Talkin' Broadway (click here to read the complete review)
"..."Kurtis Overby’s choreography performed by the fluid movement of a good ensemble creates a dreamlike effect that the average Broadway musical rarely achieves or even attempts... It’s not what you expect in musical theatre, and certainly not in a regional musical theatre...." -David Appleford, Valley Screen and Stage (click here to read the complete review)
"....Director Kurtis Overby has assembled all the pieces into a charming and engaging interpretation that is, to be clear, en pointe! The result is a jaunty, rhapsodic, and sentimental journey....(Andrew) Ruggieri is a double-barreled talent. He has a great voice and... as a dancer, he brings grace and style to his movements, and, when paired with Rebecca Shulla, who, in her own right, is exquisite in form and manner, the two flow together beautifully." - Herbert Paine, Broadway World (click here to read the complete review)
