Performer: Robert Fairchild

Nathaniel Hackmann, a stocky baritone with the tenderest of timbres, was like a reincarnation of Alfred Drake.

BalletNOW returns to the Glorya Kaufman Presents Dance at the Music Center in Los Angeles. The production features dancers from six different major ballet companies, but fails to impress.

A superb An American in Paris, inspired by the 1951 film of the same name; classic Gershwin songs enveloped by vibrant choreography, in a fast-paced show.   

Damian Woetzel puts together programs, musicians and dancers with a creative curator’s eye and gets the most out of the new combinations. This show was great.

Peter Martins's greatest legacy at New York City Ballet is his tremendous eye for talent and it was on full display at this matinee show.

Broadway is turning movies into musicals at the drop of a top hat, but none can touch this irresistible reworking of the 1951 Gene Kelly extravaganza, An American in Paris. They should just hand the Tonys to Christopher Wheeldon, Bob Crowley, and Robert Fairchild now.
