Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater Reviews

EXHILIRATING & INSPIRING

This was my first experience of an Alvin Ailey performance and I was thrilled and amazed at the talent, energy and overall professionalism of the performers. The dancers exhibit focus and excellence in their roles and I found it to be a wonderful event that, two weeks later, is still running through my mind. In addition, the musical selections enhanced the overall experience perfectly. For those complaining about price, there is no argument that this is money well spent. I have made a resolution to attend future performances whenever possible.

MAGNIFICENT

OMG, thoroughly enjoyed the experience. This was my first ballet and I was just so amazed. I wish I had not waited til my 50’s to come. I took my daughter and two grandchildren. We all enjoyed it. Well my grandson wasn’t excited but he had the opportunity to see a variety of ethnicity, genders and a ballet. Great experience. And I vowed to see Alvin Ailey whenever they are in Chicago.

MIXED REVIEW

I’ve been going to Alvin Ailey since the early 90’s, every five or so years. This year seemed different. The performance “Cry” was mechanical. It’s like the dancer was saving her energy. And “Revelations” didn’t have dancing that looks spontaneous (even if it’s choreographed). It was missing passion. I took my daughter to share my love for AA and we both left underwhelmed. The first piece “Four” was our favorite.
