    I try to attend Alvin Ailey every year. I invite a different person to go with me each year to introduce one more person to the Magic, strength, and beauty that is Alvin Ailey. I always bring tissue because at some point I'll be moved to tears. Revelations gives me LIFE!

    I can't tell you how many times I've seen Revelations performed live and in how many different cities but I believe, this is simply one of the best dance productions I will see in my lifetime and I never get tired of seeing it.

      george irving / I would hope, that some of the proceeds from the ticket sales would go to relevant causes, such as the one mentioned, but one cannot assume so. Creating "productions" of beauty and skill even during times of great societal turmoil keeps the human spirit alive. i.e.: during WWI & WWII, events such as these were held despite the bombing. That's not to say we do not hear the plight of others, but that human expression and inspiration must never be quenched.

      I’m 14 and I’ve been seeing them for a very long time and every time I see them it amazes me again again how gracefully they move especially during “Revelations” (my favorite piece) and I would kill to see them again I even own the soundtrack cd for Revelations and I thank my Grandparents for taking me for the first time to see them

    The two male soloists in this reduced “Revelations” are so amazing, they really stand out in a group of standouts! Alvin Ailey was a visionary and a genius, and I’m glad his theater, his dancers, and his choreography are continually going to be placed at the forefront of American dance. His inner vision of how the human body could move via his choreography to demonstrate the horrid burden of slavery and the buoyant joy of freedom is absolutely _sui generis,_

    個人的な事で申し上げないのですが、昔昔アメリカにアルビンエイリーアメリカンダンスセンターにダンス留学していました。ちょっとアクシデントがあり急遽日本に帰国して療養をしていました。アルビンエイリー舞踊団とても大好きでした、私個人としては、アルビンエイリー舞踊団のプリシンバルはDonna wood のcryです😂ありがとう(*^^*)ございました。

    Alvin Ailey will never be my sort of performance, but it is a fantastic production nonetheless. The music, the dancing, the atmosphere... everyone should see it last once, as far as I'm concerned, if only to see what you might be missing.

    Aaahh, beautiful:) Beautiful Mr and Mrs Simms in "Fix me Jesus"- they have been the best the way they partner is special, and perfect Mr Rushing, super agile Mr Boyd, and young Mr Lebrun is beautiful and promising...I do have to say that the white dancers don't understand containing the energy. They are good for tippytoeing and throwing of energy and hitting lines, but, boy do they lack the elegance and composure and can't move their neck to save their lives
