One of my favorites.
After seeing snippets of this ballet on YouTube, i decided to buy it. It instantly became one of my all-time favorite works. I love the music, the choreography, the costumes, the characters, etc. I love everything about it. My favorite piece is the Texan Kangaroo Rat. I showed sections of this ballet to my students, and they also loved it. (I had to skip the scene of the family, because the mom is topless!) I had my students choose a ballet to study and write an essay about for a history/appreciation assignment, and this was by far the most popular choice. Well worth the price!
