This show makes me physically ill and also angry

I detest ballet being used in the way the creators of FLESH & BONE have done, in service to horrible crap, and giving clueless people the idea that this is a realistic portrayal of life and work in professional ballet. If this were authentic, why in hell would anyone ever want to be involved? There's so much to say, but I don't have time, and I can't stand to focus on this any more right now, or I might throw up.

Just make a movie that makes me care, one way or another. I'm open.

I thought is was spot on...of course no one would really know that much about a person..but the "theater world" is terrible..the back stabbing..

I thought that at first too, but it's a great show. Watch the whole thing. It's pretty insane, gets darker and more twisted as you go and by the end it's a total wtf? Supposedly it ties into ballet as a nod to the old fairy tales that ballets are based on where there is all sorts of violence and mayhem.
