With spellbinding gusto, Ballet West’s Romeo & Juliet delivers emotionally stunning performances across the board
Oct 29, 2025
"Taking to full heart the Shakespeare original, Ballet West’s spellbinding Romeo & Juliet gives its audiences a thrilling, emotionally escalating rocket trip that oscillates between the headiest and most lyrical moments of romance, joy and humor and the darkest depths of disappointment and sadness. This intense balletic ride has gusto that never lets up, with the equally exceptional company cast of 50 and the Ballet West Orchestra, both easily handling the nuances of Michael Smuin’s choreography and Sergei Prokofiev’s score."
