J075 Blu-ray Ballet Cinderella Birmingham Royal Ballet ★★★ Cinderella is a classic performance, and while this is generally true, the Birmingham production is different. ★ It is undoubtedly the number one performance. Whether you're with your children or just the mom, you can enjoy a fun and beautiful show. ★ (Cinderella) Elisha Willis is so cute. It's worth watching just to see her expressions of sadness, pain, joy, and happiness. It's absolutely outstanding. Time: 1 hour 50 minutes NTSC Region All Recorded: November 2010, Birmingham Hippodrome Theatre Released: 2011/5/6 Cast: Birmingham Royal Ballet [Cast] Elisha Willis (Cinderella) Iain Mackay (Prince) Marion Tait (Stepmother) ★★ Quoted from web reviews below ① The stage, costumes, and people didn't feel artificial, and it was easy for me, a ballet beginner, to get into it and enjoy it. The previous ballet company I saw was too elaborate, as if they were saying, "Look how much we've done!" I didn't want to watch it again after seeing it twice, but I've watched this one many times. Cinderella should be like this. ② You can enjoy the story of Cinderella. The sets, lighting, costumes, makeup, and wigs are artistic to an extent that is unimaginable in Japan. The dancing of Cinderella's two sisters is unique, and it's a DVD you can watch while laughing. ③ ★ Cinderella performances can be hit or miss, so I was quite nervous before watching it! But! It was wonderful! It's the Birmingham Royal Ballet's Cinderella. Iain Mackay is so wonderful that you'd think he was a great actor. The actress playing Cinderella has very expressive faces and is youthful enough to withstand close-ups. The two stepsisters are one skinny and one intentionally fat in a costume. ★ It's a very elegant performance. The beauty of the background art, the splendor of the costumes, the technique, and the acting are all excellent. There are many zoom-in shots, but that's okay. The bullying of Cinderella was terrible, but on the other hand, Cinderella's kindness stood out. I couldn't help but cry at the scene where she showed kindness to the old woman. The ballet itself is wonderful, and Cinderella dances wonderfully, as if she weren't barefoot.
