Here's what audience members have to say
about past performances...

The Snow Queen - ballet redefined was enthralling! It was delicious, technically spellbinding, a holiday miracle of beauty for the senses and the soul! I've attended each and every year's ballet, but this year topped them all! What was already perfect was retained but the improvements were truly icing on the cake. The music is gorgeous, the dancing took my breath away. Christmas doesn't start until we see The Snow Queen! C.W.

I had a great time! I was amazed at how talented the cast was!
I had heard about the Snow Queen for years and now I know how great it is myself! H.K.

This is the perfect ballet for the Christmas season and is a must see for all ages. It really put me in the mood for the holidays. Seeing the Snow Queen every year is now on my must-do list but I will try to bring some kids the next time. It was a very enjoyable show! K.R.

I would just like to say that The Snow Queen 2004 was very aesthetic and full of energy! I really enjoyed it! It definitely put me in the Holiday mood! The music is brilliantly written and the choreography fits with it like a glove. The story is filled with colorful and different characters, which makes a good variety for the audience. The Snow Queen is definitely worth seeing! V.F.

This year's Snow Queen was without question the best performance I have seen of this genre in 40 years. I consider this ballet to be at a professional level.  It was simply wonderful.  P.G.

It was truly a professional production and I would rank it up there with the Nutcracker production we saw last year with the Pasadena Symphony! (at a fraction of the price for tickets)

If this is what Ms. Holt is capable of doing in a community theater setting, I'm excited by the prospect of her and Mr.Tobin taking this production to a bigger venue. I can see this show at one of the Nederlander theaters in LA of Hollywood or New York

It was great!!!!!!!!! Two Thumbs Up
Even my 9 year old son who took his Game-boy,
by the second half, he was sitting on the
edge of his seat, the Game-boy put away. M.D.

Its been almost a week since I saw The Snow Queen.  I've thought of it everyday.  I'm still amazed at the level of professional performance for the ages of the dancers.  The music is miraculous and completely bestows the essence of The Snow Queen.  Experience combined with youth to create an emotional, uplifting  and thrilling exhibition.
I Love The Snow Queen!  J.H.

Snow Queen '99...we enjoyed  it even more, and we liked the '98 version a lot. The whole level of  the show -- the choreography, execution, sets, costumes, music -- all seemed  bumped up to the next level.  Congrats! It's exciting to watch!  T.L.

A delightful combination of dance and acrobatics. Wonderful performances, music, story and costumes.  A perfect holiday treat! Loved it. D.H.

A fabulous evening seeing The Snow Queen, 2nd year in a row.  Waiting for this entertaining evening, including incredible music, to take over as the holiday standard.  Must experience! M.T,

With nine guests under the age of 10, I expected squirming and the regulation number of trips to the bathroom, but 9 little butts stayed glued to their chairs and 18 little eyes never left the stage. What better endorsement could there be? C.G.

I can't tell you enough how much I enjoyed the show.  The professionalism of the company is awesome. No one holds back, from the tiniest Snowflake to the most mature Snow Queen. I loved the character Gerda's performance. She was totally alive, like a light throughout...not one dull spot, always creating the essence of the character, always glowing. The Prince and Princess set a standard of excellence in classical technique that rivals the best of companies in the world. A.P.

I must say I was completely "taken" with the entire production. The music was very exciting and the cast of performers were exceptional. I'm looking forward to next year's production and hope The Snow Queen can be shared with many people all over the country.....Great work!!!!  C.M.

I wanted to tell you again how much we enjoyed The Snow Queen '99. I wouldn't have believed it, but the changes made and the additional music made it even more enjoyable this year.  Although my husband and I aren't typical 'ballet attendees', we loved it so much last year, that we brought friends this year who also plan on making The Snow Queen an annual family tradition.  It's a fresh interpretation and presentation that is already a classic and will be enjoyed long into the new millenium for years to come!  The marriage of music and choreography in this production deserves national exposure to a wide-range of audiences--not just your typical lover of ballet.  Best of luck to you attaining that goal!  S.H.

The choreographer's ability to create drama in dance is a notch above any choreography for students that I have ever seen. Indeed! There can be no comparison! This is no "Student Production". This is totally professional

I love the narrator's story being told from Kai's perspective as an old man. The orchestra added warmth and rich musical tonality.
