Straight from its triumphant London debut and North American tour, Peter Pan returns to Atlanta's fabulous Fox Theatre. The Darling children really fly with Peter this time, and smoothly enough. Imagine a huge, all-happy storybook in electric jewel tones that pops off the pages before your eyes. Glancing around the Fox Theatre on opening night, the dreamy faces of children made you think such things are almost possible. Set and costume designer Peter Cazalet has concocted the sort of eye candy kids gobble up in this age of screaming graphics.

It's a wonderfully interpretative celebration of various Celtic dance styles, and the company revels in every moment. The well-filled house adored every second of it, especially solo moments from Julianne Kepley and John Welker. The Atlanta Ballet is a well-rounded company of technically proficient dancers who, time and again, demonstrate an ability to stretch beyond the demands and expectations of the pure classical realm. This is a tight, energetic group of young, winning personalities who clearly enjoy imaginative theatrics. Atlanta Ballet's Artistic Director, John McFall, is planning a full-length ballet based on Georgia's grand saga of war and peace, Gone With The Wind .
