BWW Review: OKLAHOMA!, Young Vic
by Mert Dilek - May 6, 2022

Forget the butter-churner and the lasso. This Oklahoma! has no need of them. Following a Broadway run and a U.S. tour, Daniel Fish and Jordan Fein’s Tony-winning production of the Rodgers and Hammerstein musical comes to London’s Young Vic like a hipster cowboy riding into town. In their audacious interpretation, the heart and soul of this American classic offer themselves up in a new, disturbing guise. For what comes into view at the end of its three hours is a vision of American communality forged not only in camaraderie, but also in conflict and blood.

BWW Review: BALLET BLACK TRIPLE BILL, Barbican
by Vikki Broad - Mar 4, 2017

This year's triple bill marks Ballet Black's sixteenth year since Cassa Pancho founded the company in 2001. Their message remains the same as their fan base continues to grow: diversity. This small company of only eight dancers can now comfortably sell out London's large Barbican theatre for several consecutive nights and their tours of the country continue for months after. Their work whether old or new always demonstrates a glorious level of technique, precision and grace that keeps audiences coming back.
