Cinderella at the Wang Theatre

Larissa Ponomarenko and Roman Rykine as Cinderella and Her Prince Charming were outstanding in this afternoon's matinee. There was so much to like about this production including set and costume design by David Boechler, contemporary choreography by Canadian James Kudelka, and and brilliant performances by Rie Ichikawa and Melissa Hough as the evil stepsisters. The dancing by the entire corps was great. It was by far the best performance that I have seen by Boston Ballet . It will be performed through October 26 at the Citi Wang Center. Lots of Moms and daughters had a great time. I confess that I really did as well.
