Shadows: A Dance Musical NYC Reviews and Tickets
Show-Score Member Reviews (81)
See it if you enjoy exquisite, expressive dancing even in an odd context. You like thrillers. Adultery-focused stories intrigue you.
Don't see it if jarring shifts between 3 composers' recorded music with bug you. Weak music, awkward tech, a sense the team didn't all get the tone.
See it if You enjoy musicals w/emphasis on dance. Seeing Irina dance in small intimate venue was the highlight for me. Creative use of small space
Don't see it if You like big musical productions w/great music. Choreography not too creative & limited due to tight space. Music mediocre but strong acting
See it if you want an enjoyable evening of a mixture of great singing & lovely ballet
Don't see it if Ballet isn't your thing or if you are offended by extramarital affairs Read more
See it if you'd enjoy a great concept even if it needs more of development, you'd like some good songs even if they are not all fitting in this show.
Don't see it if you do not like hybrid musicals, you do not like the melodramatic, you do not like good performances in an uneven (but promising) show.
See it if You like a musical romance with a supernatural twist
Don't see it if You don't like a musical romance with a supernatural twist and you strongly object to music sometimes drowning out lyrics
See it if You're up for a predictable at times hokey but ultimately engaging musical ghost story. Fine leads & dancers mostly flesh out thin material.
Don't see it if You dislike melodramas or ghost stories or musical versions of either. Read more
See it if You like lovely young voices (without microphones!), an offbeat plot and some decent (albeit melodramatic) ballet thrown in.
Don't see it if You dislike longish lead-ins (I almost walked out before the play even started), spooky events, murder or suicide. The end is a real bust. Read more
See it if you’d enjoy seeing a sexy central couple in bed for a couple of hours, with frequently intruding dancing spooks providing lots of atmosphere
Don't see it if you have no tolerance for cheap romance. Read more
