The Red Shoes is a restored classic from 1948. Centering on the authoritarian ballet company director, Boris Lermontov, we see the addition of two great talents to the company; composer, Julian Craster, and Victoria Page, a promising new dancer who has major potential. The success of their ballet, The Red Shoes, leads to more ballets and ever growing success until Lermontov finds out about the love interest between Craster and Page. Feeling Jealous, Lermontov dismisses Craster and the problems begin. After convincing her to dance one more time, tragic consequences are the result of this fantastic piece. 4/5 stars.
