Review: 'Romeo et Juliette' brilliantly breaks hearts
Pittsburgh Tribune-Review: "French choreographer Jean-Christophe Maillot's interpretation reframes William Shakespeare's story. The opening music is used, as in films, for showing credits, in this case on a scrim. The action starts with Friar Laurence agonizing over the deaths of the young lovers. The rest of the ballet is recollection, but feels present tense."

This show was AMAZING. I loved it so much. I thought that the design of the show was gorgeous, as well as the movement of the performers. It was initially very challenging to understand the story, even though its one of those classics. But, I did catch on and start to understand who was who further into the first act. One of the most moving scenes was the party scene, the music and the design came together so well. Overall I think this show was an amazing project, it was really well done. Congrats!
