Ailey
Wang Theatre
April 19-24
I want to remain employed, but I think this is pretty dead on (except I didn't really care for Judy's part either):
"In going from the earnest sincerity of Jamison's opening to the cheesy slickness of Battle's conclusion, it confirms what many longtime Ailey watchers -- including this one -- feel has happened to the troupe over the years. It's settled for superficiality over substance or subtlety. It's become a reliable, risk-free commodity -- and the audience, which went wild after ''Love Songs," likes it that way."

Ailey is like the Boston Pops. It certainly has its place, but I think it is not for me.
I did enjoy Hidden Rites on this program.
