What exactly makes this ballet dull is difficult to pinpoint. The costumes are absolutely marvelous. Much attention has been paid to even the smallest details--so much attention, in fact, that it becomes difficult for an audience member several feet away to truly appreciate all of the workmanship put into making them...
...creative imagination was needed to keep the show somewhat entertaining, especially to dull the Pharcyde's annoying behavior. Between songs, they plugged their two albums Bizarre Ride II The Pharcyde and Labcabincalifornia relentlessly. They seemed more interested in making money than performing well for an eager audience.

But I am an adult with a memory, and useful scars...
