4.0 out of 5 stars amazing!!!, April 14, 1999

By	"mobvamp137" (North Carolina, USA) - See all my reviews

I first saw the Joffrey Ballet perform this ballet 5 years ago, when they still were located in New York. It had been quite a while when I noticed a copy of the video in my school library (at NC School of the Arts). So, of course I picked it up to refresh my memory. I was totally blown away, once again. The choreography is spectacular and flashy, the dancing is amazing--I'm not a cameraman, I'm a dancer but I thought the recording itself was a work of art. If someone truly enjoys a totally fun time and would like to see a "ballet for people who hate ballet" this is DEFINITELY it!

5.0 out of 5 stars Rock -n- Roll on Pointe, January 4, 2000

By	"joshuaeisenberg@yahoo.com" (New York, USA) - See all my reviews

Billboards is one of the hottest, if not "THE" hottest ballets ever choreographed. It is a cross between MTV, and classical ballet. The music by Prince, the steps by various contemporary choreographers, and the costumes out of Studio 54. The steps are jazzy, sassy, flashy, fresh, and always fierce! This tape is a must have.

5.0 out of 5 stars Rock for ballet fans & Ballet for rock fans, April 2, 2002

By	John S. Harris "The Voice of Reason" (Memphis, TN) - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)

You don't really have to be a ballet or Prince fan to enjoy this show. I saw it both on PBS and live on stage, and this video is a wonderful souvenir of the show. It is fun, energetic, a little sexy, and features some outstanding young dancers. Not much "traditional" ballet here, but viewers can easily see how much hard work and discipline goes in to ballet training. Ballet purists may be a bit put off by this performance, but for the rest of us it a an excellent way to enjoy an art form we wouldn't normally view otherwise.
