Take a look at the full article.

Here are some highlights:

Guiding this cast of high achievers was director and choreographer Darren Royston, armed with a seemingly bottomless bag of visual delights. His fluid staging used the full width of the space to maximum advantage.

His greatest gift as a director and educator—for, after all, this is a youth company—is his ability to draw the very best out of every performer. Everyone shone in their own way, while still allowing the production its own distinctive, cohesive style.

Ultimately, it was Royston’s imaginative world-building that filled every scene with an irresistible humanity, proof that when gifted young people commit their energy and talents to art and to each other, the resulting magic can move us to tears of joy.
