Post Gazette: "Despite ballet's upper crust pedigree, humor occasionally surfaces in brilliant fashion.
In the enchanting romantic comedy 'La Fille mal gardee' ('The Wayward Daughter'), Frederic Ashton dryly inserted a clog dance, dancing chickens and a live pony. Jerome Robbins created side-splitting tidbits in his masterpiece, 'The Concert,' where the real audience was privy to the behavioral intrigues of a stage audience. And lately American Ballet Theatre's Alexei Ratmansky has toyed with plenty of camp in 'Namouna.'
