South Carolina Ballet Tickets
Johnny Mercer Theatre | Savannah, Georgia
One of the best renditions of the Shakespearean classic Romeo & Juliet is coming to the Johnny Mercer Theatre in Savannah, Georgia, on Saturday, February 1st. The South Carolina Ballet Company, in its 63rd season, is showcasing the love story of love stories throughout Valentine's Day month for yet another year. Traditionally, the one word that can be used to describe this particular performance is passionate! In the past, the South Carolina Ballet company has trotted out a bare-chested Romeo on stage. These details have always allowed audiences to be wowed from the moment the dancers come out from behind the curtains.
Most people in the audience likely know this story well, and it's extremely difficult to surprise the crowd with a play they've probably seen and heard hundreds of times. Yet, year after year, The South Carolina Ballet accomplishes the impossible with Romeo and Juliet. If you want to be a part of the show they have in store for this 2025 season, click the get tickets button soon.
The South Carolina Ballet Company has a "warning statement" as part of its promos for this event. There's literally a line that reads, "Parental Guidance is Advised." That means, in short, that this isn't a show that's geared for children. At the end of the day, you, as a parent, have the final say. The reason why they put this warning out there actually has to do with the depth of the performance! As mentioned earlier, over the years, they've experimented with different outfits and elements that are always geared toward generating a passionate performance. Don't expect the affection that Romeo and Juliet show on stage to be reserved to a formal handshake.
These dancers are going to be doing their best to convey a true connection and even tension within the characters. A lot of times, it is going to turn into duets that are too close for comfort. At least, they would be if the play was PG. This search to bring out that passion also means that dancers are typically allowed to bring a lot more power to the stage. That's especially true about pivotal moments in the story. Sometimes, certain dance companies do a bit of a disservice trying to keep stories like this too "graceful." We're conveying love here! In fact, it's such a deep love that it's worth dying for. The costumes, the stage design, and most importantly, the choreography that will be on display at the Johnny Mercer Theater on February 1st reflect this.
Hopefully, this idea of the show being passionate and powerful got across just fine! Now, it's important to know where the best spots in the theater are to witness such a performance. There's always an upside to being as close as possible to performers. In this case, the front rows grant you the opportunity to truly appreciate the effort that the dancers are putting in. If you want to have a wider view of the show, which grants you a better perspective of the stage as a whole, then finding an elevated spot further back could be ideal. What you can't afford to do is pass up on this chance to witness this performance. Click the get tickets button today and head out to the Johnny Mercer Theatre to see Romeo and Juliet!
