What I liked
The dancing!
The look
The whole idea
The cast especially the leads
The music
The multimedia
What I didn't like
The voiceover
The changes made in the vampire plot—not because they ARE changes but because they “framed” the whole story in a less interesting way.
I got confused a couple of times in the last half.
The watering down of Ellen’s role.
My overall impression
This was a lovely show and I liked it a lot. But—and this is curious—it changed a lot once Count Orlock appeared. Gone was the dance, almost entirely. And by then I expected a wonderful interpretation of the classic silent movie AS dance. So my reaction is to still desire that dance piece, interspersed with scenes more about movement.
And yet—and a lot of this springs directly from the lead actors—I never lost interest, never stopped caring at least some for those lead characters, especially Thomas and Ellen.
