“ Almost two years have passed since my friend and I went to the play "All Ways Lead to the North" from the Ballet Moscow Theater on the stage of the Stanislavsky Theater. And then it turned out that not only adults can enjoy modern dance, because especially for children, the Moscow Ballet has two whole performances: "Thumbelina" 0+ and a new performance "The Wizard of Oz" 6+. During the quarantine, the January Blonde got carried away with computer games, so for him to go to the ballet, where each action resembles the completion of a mission in the game, and the scenery and costumes of the characters are constantly referring to Minecraft in a pixel square, and makes you remember about endermen (black mobs) and creepers ( green kamikaze mobs). Perhaps very little ones can be a little scared, because there are many battles, missions, obstacles in the performance, but older children will appreciate the dynamism. The main idea that our strength is in unity and brotherhood, in my opinion, is read very quickly, because only together the heroes of the classic work of Lyman Frank Baum "The Amazing Wizard of Oz" and the book by Alexander Volkov "The Wizard of the Emerald City" can cope with everything and to reach the Boss, in this case the Wizard, who gives the Rewards. Everything is like in the Game, everything is like in Life. We also liked the choreography (Toto was especially successful - Andrey Tikhonov), the costumes: what a luxurious mane Lev (Azamat Ishkin) has, why -that I took it at first for Fire. The most fascinating scene with the Poppies, to the music of Murat Kabardokov, immerse the audience in a hypnotic state of delight. The ballet takes 1 hour 15 minutes with an intermission, for the kids, who were very many in the hall, it can be too long, but they will be able to sit out the first action.In front of KZ Izmailovo there is ample parking, and the metro with ground transport stops is literally 10 minutes away. but to leave the shift, for this you don't even need to contact the employees, they show the shelf where the mothers leave the packages. Before the play, kids have a place to run in the foyer, decorated with fancy lights. There is a small buffet that accepts cards, but it is one, and the queue cannot be avoided.

“ Bright, musical, dynamic. Without words from the stage. And here it turns out interesting. How do you think children watch the play without words? They are drawn to talk and to voice at least something. Literally every new scene is accompanied by a hum in different voices like: “Mom! It's the Lumberjack! " An interesting effect, curious. And not stressful at all. On the contrary, it is pleasant to observe genuine involvement, especially when it is with respect towards artists and spectators, in a whisper. The fairy tale looks at one breath and leaves a feeling of celebration. The performance is recommended from six years old. And although, of course, everything is individual - plus / minus, I would like the parents to take into account the recommendation and not take the kids at all. Now the theater's performances are held at the Izmailovo Concert Hall with a spacious and comfortable hall. We had ideal seats in the center of the seventh row (better visibility and the price is more pleasant than the sixth row). I strongly advise you to take just such😉.

“ On January 30, my children and I went to the ballet based on our favorite fairy tale "The Wizard of Oz". ... For one evening we were transported into the world of magic together with Ellie and her dog Totoshka. In the fairy tale there were good and evil wizards, a cowardly lion, a woodcutter, a scarecrow stuffed animal. ... Friends, overcoming all difficulties, were able to free the inhabitants of a magical land from insidious and evil sorceresses, and Ellie and Totoshka returned home to Kansas. ... The fairy tale goes with a modern twist and Minecraft fans will certainly appreciate Goodwin's costume 😆. Many thanks to the @moskvalublu community for the invitation! And of course thanks for such a wonderful evening. Both my sons and I liked it!
