BALLET IN CINEMA PRESENTSLE FILLE MAL GARDEE--Ballet from the Royal Ballet, London“Fille is a treasure” -Monica Mason, Director of The Royal BalletAnyone who has seen this sunniest of ballets will certainly agree. Frederick Ashton brought the work into the 20th century and created an instant classic which has never left The Royal Ballet’s repertory. Lise’s larger-than-life mother, the Widow Simone, tries to marry her off to the simpleton son of a rich neighbor. Full of delicious comedy and wonderful, characterful choreography, one of the greatest pleasures of Fille is the way in which the steps never get in the way of the natural, easy storytelling. La Fille mal gardée is the perfect ballet for first-timers of all ages, but it is also one to which ballet-lovers will return again and again with renewed pleasure at every performance.Tickets $15Sunday, June 3 @ 2:30pm Wednesday, June 6 @ 7:00pmTickets available online at www.wilmettetheatre.com or call Box Office at 847-251-7424
