The show boasts a remarkably talented cast (including Ansel Elgort as the bare-chested, guitar-bashing Godfather) who deftly split the difference between stunning dance moves and the expressive yet subtle dramatics this story-about a young man struggling to find his place in the world while clashing with friends, family and himself-demands. Lead performer Paris Fitzpatrick as Jimmy was revelatory, especially in the final scene where he writhes and spins through a near-suicidal emotional breakdown on a cliff overlooking a raging sea.

The new ballet, Quadrophenia, offers a fresh orchestral lens to Pete Townshend's timeless rock opera, enhancing its emotional depth and narrative richness.
