“Perhaps most impressive about Tuesday’s premiere was how the balance of woe and wit extended into nearly every aspect of the production. Choreographer Denis Jones was as skilled at lending elegance to the skulking denizens of the underworld as with fashioning a wedding party dance that would kill on TikTok.”
– Michael Andor Brodeur, The Wasington Post

It is not enough to hold her interest, and the introverted Eurydice retreats away — but no one’s gonna save her from the beast about to strike.
