Broadway Festival
March 12–22, 2009
PNB's salute to Broadway offers marvelously entertaining premieres by George Balanchine, Jerome Robbins and Christopher Wheeldon paired with the reprise of Susan Stroman's TAKE FIVE. George Balanchine's Slaughter on Tenth Avenue, created for the musical On Your Toes, offers a parody of Broadway, Russian ballet and the mob. Danced in front of a ferris wheel, Wheeldon's salute to Richard Rodgers "…is so enriching that one hungers for more: too good to be enough" (The New York Times). The legendary singing, finger-snapping teens of Robbins' long-anticipated West Side Story Suite are guaranteed to elicit "rockconcert cheers" (San Francisco Chronicle).
