American Ballet Theatre kicks off its fall season with Ratmansky's culinary creation based on the two-act 1924 ballet, originally created as Schlagobers. 

In contrast to companies like the Bolshoi, ABT’s Don Quixote comes across as sweet but slight.

The Seasons is overstuffed, uneven and way too busy. There are so many steps, but they rarely made me "see the music". It was a frustrating ballet, with so many lovely moments that were less than the sum of its parts.
