Write Your Own Review!

 Tulsa Ballet opened its season with the comic and enchanting The Merry Widow this weekend. From breathtaking ball rooms to flirtatious can-can girls, at this ballet we had audiences tweeting: 
“another must see” (@TaraVreeland)

"beautiful costumes and spectacular performance” (@kjprough)

There were several reviews of the ballet over the weekend, but we want to know what you thought of the performance. What did you think of Ronald Hynd's choreography? Franz Lehar's music? Roberta Guidi di Bagno's costumes and sets? What about our dancers?
