What I liked
Aside from all the humor thanks to audience participation, I really enjoyed Caroline’s actual dancing, most of it performed en pointe. And each time her character time shifted, costume changes designed by Nicole Olson-Elkind added to the fantasy and sometimes tragedy of the dancer’s life. Cello accompaniment by Jacob Brethen added to the classical ballet moments as well as the humor. Highly recommend you catch this one at the Broadwater Studio.
What I didn't like
Not sure anything is needed to enhance this show, other than perhaps a few more characters, added stories, and a longer run time.
My overall impression
Caroline O’Meara dances on toe shows through thre3e different lives of a mysterious ballerina, born into poverty in the 15thh Century who rises to dance at the French Royal Court. But the show begins as she is auditioning for a 21st Century dance company which turns out to be less than a classical company. But what makes her show so engaging is the amount of improv she incorporates into it by calling upon several audience members to read lines as her cat, agent, the woman who runs the 21st Century dance company and a few others. Laughs galore throughout the 30 minute show.
