Mirror Mirror | Milwaukee Ballet

Greetings! It's my pleasure to be here on my sissy pants' blog to talk to you about the MKE ballet!! My name is Renée and I have long loved the ballet, ever since I was a little tutu-wearing tike earning my way to those pointe shoes. You may not know it, but MKE has a most wonderful ballet, lead by a most creative artistic director, Michael Pink. He is quite a visionary! I don't think enough people know how lucky MKE is to have a ballet company with its own Milwaukee Ballet Orchestra! Nothing can beat live music and it's two cultural events in one! What a deal! AND how lucky we are to have a ballet company which is producing new, original works. You remember our trip to the MKE ballet back in fall.

So...my shishter and I went to see Mirror Mirror a little bit ago and it was fantastic! Michael Pink is known for bringing new ballets to the stage (this is quite a feat, as most ballets have been danced for ages) (He also recently brought other original ballets, Peter Pan & Dracula to the stage - which were very excellent!!) They do a great job with the classics, however I also feel they are producing ballets for people who don't like ballet!

Anyway - we loved Mirror Mirror, even though we thought it was a bit risque for the little ballerinas in the audience. 

 I know you've missed Mirror Mirror, but please check out their 2014-2015 season! I think my favorite is going to be Giselle or Genesis. Consider doing a full season, a single show, or a package (bundle) - the packages start at only $60!! 

Michael Pink loves MKE and wants to do something great in this great city and I think he and the Milwaukee Ballet are succeeding! Keep up the good work and thank you for having us!!
