I chose, and my world was shaken- So what? The choice may have been mistaken,
The choosing was not...

They did "Aquarius." After he massacred West Side Story, Tyce Diorio actually did a really good job with this.

I thoroughly enjoyed it. And although I hate his attitude, Brandon really is a spectacular dancer.

I missed a few weeks, I know he did the WSS numbers I saw and they were AWFUL.

That seemed rather...disjointed? Plus I am not a fan of that Tyce guy. He is SO arrogant, as seen in that Chorus Line documentary, Every Little Step. I don't think he's that great of a choreographer. I'm not familiar with this show, really, but all I know is that if that had been on Broadway as actual choreography, people would've been laughing, not cheering. Though, maybe that's not what they were going for, but whatever. Maybe that's how all the stuff is with the show. It just didn't seem to even go along with the song at all.

It was very... decent? They danced it well, and the choreography was somewhat good, but a. the song really doesn't lend itself to sharp choreography and b. Tyce couldn't choreograph his way out of a paper bag.

While I enjoyed it, I don't think the choreography should have been classified as "broadway". I don't think it would not have appeared on a b'way stage.
If we're not having fun, then why are we doing it?
These are DISCUSSION boards, not mutual admiration boards. Discussion only occurs when we are willing to hear what others are thinking, regardless of whether it is alignment to our own thoughts.
I agree, the coreopraphy(sp?) seemed too 'ballerina-like'. Aquarius(sp?) needs to have more aquatic feel to it.

I agree if I had seen that choreography in the show I would've gone "WTF?", but I thought it worked well as a stand alone number.

I liked how even though it was kinda "ballet-like", it was still really sexy. Even though they didn't use my favorite part of the song ("Harmony and understanding...").
Because I look different you think I'm subversive.
I have to agree with dancinthrulife04. Out of the context of the show, the piece was performed well; however, the choreography wouldn't be appropriate for the show.

This Tyce guy is a joke. There was hardly anything original in that piece. That was a bad re-hashing of the Twyla choreography for the movie. Laughable.
