text: I truly do love the Jabbawockeez The things they did on ABDC were extraordinary and it transcended the hip hop dance group genre for years to come The masks they don are a trademark and it is so huge in the scheme of marketing and style The numbers they performed on MTV really captured the imaginations of audiences and the masks themselves allowed them to provide a physical humor as well I am a hip hop dancer myself and it was incredible watching them week after week wowing audiences nnThey have added additional dancers several actually and are doing all brand new numbers The theme Prism deals with colors and how it works into the show and our lives too The show is definitely geared towards families although some of the jokes are supposed to fly over the head of kids and get a chuckle out of high schoolers and adults alike I really enjoyed the pretty neat production of the show Flashy lasers bright colorful lights LED screens and thumping sound systems The humor to me anyways had me cracking up I enjoy how the Jabbawockeez embraced themselves as dancing mimes and they work it really well into the skits The crowd interaction midway through the show is a good way to connect with the people although I felt it may have dragged on a little long nnSince I have seen the show twice once when I first moved here and recently last night I have to be as honest as possible from my dancers perspective first I would like to believe the show with it is top notch production and sick lighting lacked some of the energy that is needed to truly wow the audience Some of the movements were missing that punch of energy and precision that provides the illusions to the moves themselves It is really noticeable i am going to if you compare some of their older work to how they move now Maybe shows a night for days a week can be taxing and it is just not easy to be synchronized from start to finish but unfortunately it is expected from them nnSome of the numbers desperately needed more on the choreography front too Again Jabba is known for creating the illusions and sometimes it seems like they are simply doing a choreographed number we see at a normal hip hop class at a local dance studio If the numbers are lacking on top of the effort of the movement it is tough to embrace the things that made America love them nnOn a more positive note I still have to give them credit on a few pieces that still made me say Siccckkkkkk like two man number on I got on it and their final battle scene Their natural charm through their movements will always be endearing to people especially kids But for the hardcore lovers of dance and an even casual fan I would love to just see them break more boundaries and step up on the effort
