Jazzy Brunch: The Mobile Ballet
Bravo, Mobile Ballet! A standing ovation goes to all those involved in bringing Artistic Director Katia Garza’s larger-than-life vision of customizing The Princess and the Frog to center around Mobile and ourMardi Gras to fruition! A born-for-it sensation, Victoria Blakely stole the show as the company’s first African American lead and wowed audiences in this fairytale favorite turned Alabama classic. Furthermore, Katia partnered with The Pact Theatre Company to incorporate live singers into the performance and the Bay’s beloved Ron Barrett to set the stage for their first Saenger Theater show. On a roll, Mobile Ballet hosted Jazzy Sunday, a chic downtown fundraiser, and ACCESS snapped pics of future princesses at the sold-out matinée performance.
