Enjoyed the splashes of humour in the Verdi pieces, otherwise would have been rather boring. Pinocchio's nose didn't grow - that was the most memorable part of the story and I kept waiting to see a longer nose! However, dancers were competent enough.

While this show was technically very good.I felt it was emotionally cold.There was very little of the dancers own personal touch in the performance.The choreography became repetative.The pinnochio section was too busy with too many people doing very different things at the same time.Costumes were delightful,however unless you knew the story of pinnochio it would have been very hard to make any sense of it.

The first half was amazing for its great dancing, humour and beautiful costumes. The choreography was very in tune with the music.
The second half was great with spectacular costumes and designs.
I would thoroughly recommend this show.

Favourite moment: Pinocchio and his father's reunion in the belly of the giant fish was especially impressive. @

High standard of performances and magnificant costumes. Natural humor was evident in the first part with each dancer demonstrated their skills in solo and pair and group performances. Pinocchio was a familiar story but the play condensed the plots in such an efficient and smooth way that each scene was appreciated highly. Most of all, I love the constumes. The donkey looked so real.

I enjoyed the classic ballet mixed in with a bit of humour, that even my 7 year old daughter could understand! I also loved the story of Pinnochio, especially the great set design and terrific costumes. I found it great value for money. The front seats weren't super expensive. We hope to go again to the next tour. Something my young daughter can aspire to as a young ballet student.

My 2 budding ballerinas were on the edges of their seats. Especially with the second half - Pinochio. The first half was well done as well with a little bit of comedy added to keep it lively for the audience. The question and answer session afterwards was great too - totally amazed that the man who played the part of pinochio had only started dancing when he was 17! Very inspiring.

The ballet was fantastic - my girls particularly enjoyed the Verdi Variations. Unfortunately our seats at the Bruce Mason Theatre (number 45 in particular) did not give us a view of the entire stage, so we missed many scenes of Pinocchio. Fortunately a grandmother sitting near us was giving her grandson a running commentary, so at least we knew what was happening, even if we could not see. It was frustrating to hear laughter from the audience and not know why. I did mention to the usher at the interval that the curtain on the left side of the stage did not appear to be completely pulled back (when compared with the right side of the stage where it was well clear of the lights), but she did not appear to understand me. So, an awesome production and we will definitely book for Sleeping Beauty later in the year, but I will be more careful about choosing seats.

Tutus on tour was very enjoyable overall and it was a wonderful experience.. Just a couple of things. The first act was a hit because of the amazing costumes.. all traditional tutus, tiarias and sparkles. But it was 10 minutes too long. Without a story to follow it started to seem a bit too much of the same. The humour was lovely but got a bit old.So many children in the audience - they had started to wriggle and lose interest. Have some lollies on hand ready to carry them through that last 10 minutes
Pinnochio was marvellous. Plenty to keep the childrens attention throughout.
the question and answer session afterwards was wonderful - but the male and female ballerinas needed to have some answers ready. They seemed a little ill prepared. Maybe they could practice questions and answers a bit for a fun engaging response. My suggestion would be to try to respond to please your audience. When a child asks what your favourite ballet is. They most likely want to know if you prefer sleeping beauty to swan lake. They won't connect to a contemporary dance by some choreographer we haven't heard of. Because a ballet has a lot of jumps, or is a really hard one to learn, or that you love the costumes.... will resonate more with the children.
Still it was great fun for the children to see the dancers up close and personal.

What a wonderful combination of colour, styles and creativity. The beautiful classical ballet was delivered with flair and fun - the Pinochio story was beautifully interpreted and presented with vibrancy and energy...a very emotive performance all round...well done!

I thought it was quite good but certainly not as good as the last "Tutus on tour" I went to see, which went thro the years of 'ballet' that was fabulous.
