Pasadena, CA - Saturday, June 29, 2019


Recommended Posts

I've been waiting for a corps to forge out a really dark identity and Mandarins have filled that role for me.  The last three shows have been so dark and angry but still so fun to watch.  It's hard to do dark in an accessible way and they are.

Great show but academy is more accessible for me. 

Academy will always be more accessible than the Mandarins. The corps' identities are almost polar opposites

There’s a lot to like in this show. A little dark for my liking. Ramon and Lucas love it. 

I wasn't super sold on the ballad the first time I saw it but I'm loving it now.  

edit - that wasn't supposed to be a quote hmm

You know, despite the darkness of this show, I feel like it goes a little light on the dissonance. I hope BD can make dissonance hot again next year like they did in 2012 and 2013
