NYC BALLET Premiers Justin Beck's "The MOST INCREDIBLE THING" An Indiscernible Masquerade

Razzle dazzle em and keep the eyes averted from the slight of hand, dreadful choreography.  Justin Peck is the Resident Choreographer of NYC Ballet as well as soloist for the company.  The program included a  lengthy synopsis of the ballet which was fanciful and imbedded in children's folklore.     There were literally round the clock dance segments that varied from The Gambler (who entered via a slide) Adam & Even (in nude body stockings with vines) & the omnipresent Cuckoo Bird in a bedazzling costume who flapped her wings but never got off the ground.  The production began slowly with a hazy curtain revealing an anatomical, futuristic robot combining 2 dancers that formed a creepy configuration of a 3 legged, 2 headed monstrosity.  After the cloudy curtain lifted, the busy backdrop revealed a central figuration of 12 bodies configurating the 12 hours on a clock.  There was a gap where the Cuckoo Bird made her entrances & exits.  Altogether the costumes were a Mad Hatter Tea party mesh of Alice in Wonderland, The Magic Flute, Wizard of Oz and even Star Wars.  Nothing gelled. The uninspired dancing asked you not to look closely at the choreography because you'd only discover the Wizard of Odd.
