Just got back from opening night and I concur. Exceptional dancing and the visuals are terrific. My only reservation is that it didn't hit me emotionally like some of the rest of Bourne's work. (I mean, I wept openly at both "Cinderella" and "Edward Scissorhands.") This was gorgeous and entertaining and witty and over-the-top (in a good way) but my heart didn't break for any of them. But, damn, they danced well. (Also, was it just me, or did anyone else REALLY want to see Caradoc and Lilac have a solid showdown? No? OK, never mind.)
