One month-ish later and I need to go to orthodontist because my jaw is still on the floor. Congratulations for the well deserved title, Blue Devils! Since you've done Fellini (film) and Matisse (painting) maybe let's shift to the literature scene and pull a dark 2024....Edgar Allan Poe-themed show would be nice. 😉 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve lost hope of most (but not all) BD critics being remotely objective with their criticisms 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you are one of those people you see what you want to see and not what is really there. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But simplistic or easy… nope. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NakedEye Posted August 14, 2023 Share Posted August 14, 2023 I may have just watched “not” the show 6 times in a row. Seeing something new each time. There are so many tiny choreographic moments everywhere that fly by. I was likely too busy screaming when it was live to fully appreciate how epic that run was. My goodness...THE GUARD. All sections were probably about as spotless as is possible to make them. Simply amazing! 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
