Latest reviewsSee more...
The Royal Ballet’s Like Water for Chocolate is sumptuous but complex

Wheeldon’s choreography eschews the sweep and expanse of classical ballet for gravity-succumbing floor rolls and lots of twirling, swirling and swishy port de bras.

Wheeldon lacks the imagination to take this story beyond that of a well-crafted adaptation of a beloved movie.
