I left you hanging! it's been like, 3 weeks, and I haven't given you anything! I went today to the Atlanta Ballet's show of The Great Gatsby at the Fox. I love the Fox theatre. I have probably seen at least 20 shows there. The best, is when you can get a ticket for $15 for a low selling show!
On the opposite note, I was disappointed to see that there was no live orchestra at the show. As of last year, the Atlanta Ballet did not renew the contract of the orchestra for the upcoming season. The prerecorded music not only lacked the obvious brilliance of having a live orchestra, but the quality of the music, sound system, or both made the ballet hard to listen to. If they're having problems with money for the ballet, they're going to have more problems with no live orchestra.

Yes, but please tell us about the ballet itself-- was it good dancing/choreography? What were the scenery and lighting like? How did the audience seem to like it? How did they handle the scene where Myrtle gets killed? Thanks a bunch!
the dancing was good. It is the only ballet I have seen besides the nutcracker years ago, so I am not one to give criticism on it. I do however go to a lot of symphony concerts and musicals, and that is why I felt compelled to comment on the lack of musicians.
I liked the ballet just fine. My friend fell asleep. I thought the scenery and lighting was good. They kill myrtle with sound effects and lights. I don't want to give it all away!
hope this helps.
