Sad Festivities at Theatre 80 Show Uneven Manhattan Festival Ballet
A critical review of three repertory ballets at Theatre 80 in St. Mark's Square finds uneven quality and weak choreography. The Pas de Deux features Thomas Enckett and Seiya Simonen misaligned with the music, while Chrysalis shows clearer storytelling. Coruscare is labeled plat and derivative, lacking structure or technical polish. Donna Baldwin delivers the evening’s strongest performance amidst overall company struggle.
