Fantastic ballet Just would have preferred the story to stay in 1900s and not have an up to date ending..

I have seen all of Matthew Bourne's productions and Sleeping Beauty did not disappoint. I love the way that the dancer's move their bodies, the subtle twists and turns that tell the story so brilliantly. In addition, the costumes and make-up were spectacular. This was the second time I've seen this production, having been just before Christmas. Well worth the second visit.

As well as great dancing and music expected at a salders wells ballet. The production was excerpts, a little different for yr traditional look but the costumes were beautiful. The setting was dark mythic and mysterious. I would love to go again.

Unfortunately I had no tickets or confirmation from Box Office! I see they charged me but I had forgotten and so didn't see the ballet.
