**** Highly Recommended The Joffrey Ballet’s "Carmen" was magnificent. Georges Bizet’s glorious music combined with Liam Scarlett’s emotive choreography danced with incredible artistry by the Joffrey company is a spectacle not to be missed! I must say I had forgotten just how evocative this music can be. Seriously, "Carmen" blew me away - the music, the choreography, the costumes, just wow! I can’t say enough about the Joffrey dancers who always execute the most complicated choreography with flawless technique and grace. Don’t miss it! 4 BIG Spotlights
