I have to say The Orchestra sounded exquisite. I enjoyed listening to the angelic voices as well. My second mention is to the Arabian Couple (Virginia Ramey & Steven McMahon). Sensually seductive flow throughout their performance had me on the edge wanting more. I hope to see more from these two. My third mention to such a graceful Clara (Hideko Karasawa). You dance beautifully. I look forward to you in many more productions from the Ballet of Memphis. The Nutcracker (John Deming). I had to mention you with Clara & rightly so. The elegant gracefulness becoming The Prince was enough of a stand & applause right then and there. My fourth mention The Russians (Brandon Ramey, Jared Brunson, James Vessel) Amazingly tantalizing power jumps sheer power of this group of men.My fifth mention Last but for sure not least, The Sugar Plum Fairy (Crystal Brothers). To your stage presence delicately graceful . I'm not sure if I heard your toe shoes tap the floor once. Eloquently exquisite. ... Read more
