        This show was truly amazing. The dances were beautiful and exciting. The performers portrayed each character with emotion and grace. The final dances, in particular, were enchanting. I could feel the grief and sorrow of dear little Bitty Bird, when she relates the news (by dancing)of his bride's death to the god Malan. I would also like to praise the character of "Little Cutie" for such an adorable performance throughout the entire show.This play is definitely one classic that continues to speak to new generations, and deserves to be watched.
