“Choreography by Shannon Burns was intense and spectacular. When it was fast, fluid and intense, it was perfect and when it was gone, it was sorely missed.”

- Theatre Thoughts -
“Choreographer Shannon Burns delivers crisp choreography that is delightfully showy and yet perfectly supportive of the storytelling.”

- Simon Parris -
“Shannon Burns’ choreography is full of striking contemporary athleticism.”

- Sydney Arts Guide -
“… this is emphasised by Shannon Burns’ exceptional choreography: the dancers bring to the stage flashes of West Side Story’s gang warfare, jazz and contemporary ballet.”

- Stage Noise -
“The dancers not only stood out for their bold costumes but also the passion and athleticism they brought to the stage. From the beauty and elegance of the 10 couples waltzing, to the joy and vibrancy of the party scenes, Burns' choreography adds to the spectacle of the production.”
