Globe: "Ailey troupe is as vital as ever"

Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater and Sweet Honey In The Rock in Hope Boykin's "Go in Grace"

David Perkins reviewed Tuesday evening's Alvin Ailey American Dance theater performance at The Opera House:

"When Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater returned to Boston on Tuesday,
beginning a seven-performance run celebrating the company's 50th
anniversary, two things were immediately apparent. One, this is no
empty relic of a company: Twenty years after the founding genius's
death, its spirit is vibrant, its dancers' commitment to every gesture
total (down to the final extension of fingers and toes), and Ailey's
choreography as fresh and moving as if it had been created yesterday.
Two, it takes a lot of talent to add something of equal weight to a
program featuring his work."
