    This was a great evening. The explosive energy of the dancers in Lazarus 2 was truly thrilling. I last saw Revelations in the 60's or 70's with Judith Jameson and have bored the hind legs off people ever since so it was a special joy to see it again even though no one can out do Jameson!

    What a feast for the eyes - the wonderful Alvin Ailey dance troupe was phenomenal last night. Beautiful rhythmic movements - flawless artistry - to African/American beats. Thoroughly enjoyable evening!
