Philadelphia Ballet Present LA FILLE MAL GARDEE at the Academy of Music, 6/2 - 11

The Philadelphia Ballet presents, La Fille Mal Gardee at the Academy of Music from June 2 through the 11th. Roy Kaiser, Artistic Director of the Pennsylvania Ballet tells abc.com, "It's a wonderful piece. If you want a first experience where you'll be able to understand completely what's going on and you'll be entertained and you'll see incredible choreography and you'll laugh along the way, this is the ballet to see."  

Loosely translated to mean 'the wayward daughter', La Fille Mal Garde is a charming romantic comedy about a wealthy farmer's daughter who falls for a handsome young farm worker. But the young woman's mother arranges for her to marry the dimwitted son of a rich vintner instead. Dancers are now hard at work rehearsing for the ballet.

"It's a little boy meets girl and a little trouble ensues but boy ends up with girl at the end. It's ok for me to give away that ending. And there's dancing chickens," added Kaiser. "And it's very entertaining. It's good choreography, very funny, and people should come out and see it."

The Ballet runs at the Academy of Music from June 2nd through the 11th. For more information, please visit:  http://paballet.org
