Review: THE WASHINGTON BALLET'S CINDERELLA at The National Theatre
by Aidan O'Connor - May 9, 2026

The story of Cinderella is a classic known and beloved across the world for its rags-to-riches plot. Over the years, Charles Perrault’s 17th-century tale has taken many forms – films, various literary iterations, stage plays – but none more exquisite than Sergei Prokofiev’s Cinderella, Op. 87 ballet. Edwaard Liang’s rendition of the fairy tale at the Washington Ballet is nothing short of a revelation, packed with entrancing choreography throughout all three acts. Here, a classic tale is reinvented to somehow exude even more elegance.

Review: The Royal Winnipeg Ballet's HANSEL & GRETEL at the National Arts Centre
by Courtney Castelino - Oct 24, 2025

NAC Dance’s presentation of The Royal Winnipeg Ballet's Hansel & Gretel is completely unhinged, in the best possible way. It is definitely not a traditional retelling of the Brothers Grimm fairytale. In an unlikely blend of film noir, vaudeville, Broadway, and the Golden Age of Hollywood films, Hansel & Gretel includes classical ballet, contemporary dance, and even jazz hands. Should it work? Not a chance. Does it work? A thousand times, yes!

Review: INTO THE WOODS Weaves Timeless Tale in Philippine Setting
by Oliver Oliveros - Aug 20, 2025

Once upon a time, Stephen Sondheim's (music and lyrics) and James Lapine's (book) 1986 musical 'Into the Woods' was written to appeal like a mashup of the Brothers Grimm's fairy tales—thus, the show's commercial allure. But we all knew Sondheim's creative mind was more complex than that; he dared to ask what happens after 'happily ever after.'
