The dancing certainly IS fierce

It's one of the most electric evenings I've had in the theatre. The 90 minutes just tear by with one dazzling number, seemlessly flowing into another. There are no mothballs here - it is vitally alive while staying relatively true to the period. That ensemble -- both the dancers and musicians -- must be exhausted after each performance. And the dancer you cite, Karine Plantadit, is just sensational. The way she moves on stage in Isabel Toledo's shimmering costumes is just breathtaking. I imagine that Vanessa Williams will be quite lovely in the 4 songs she sings, but even if she doesn't hit the mark, they're just 4 songs out of more than two dozen performed in 90 mins. This extended commercial clip actually gives you a very good feel for the show.
