"Ballet to Broadway: Wheeldon Works" showcases the versatility and emotional depth of choreographer Christopher Wheeldon through a program of four unique pieces that bridge the worlds of classical ballet and musical theatre. The evening opens with Fools Paradise, a glowing and ethereal ensemble work that highlights Wheeldon’s signature fluid movement and sculptural compositions. The program also includes The Two of Us, a nostalgic and intimate duet set to the music of Joni Mitchell, exploring themes of memory and connection.

The performance continues with Us, a poignant duet originally created for BalletBoyz, portraying a tender relationship between two men through graceful, grounded movement. Rounding out the program is the vibrant ballet scene from An American in Paris, the Tony Award-winning musical that brought Wheeldon’s choreographic style to Broadway. Together, these works demonstrate Wheeldon’s distinctive ability to merge narrative, emotion, and movement across genres and styles.
