Men in Tights

Sara and I saw "Matthew Bourne's Swan Lake" at the Orpheum last night. It is a completely re-imagined production of the Tchaikovsky ballet, and all of the swans are male. I loved it -- the sets are super-stylized, the costumes are gorgeous, the dancing dramatic and the choreography witty and original. My only complaint is the one I have for all full-length ballets: too much acting, not enough dancing. But definitely worth the price of admission for anyone interested in dance, theater or swans.
