As we bid farewell to the wondrous world of Beauty and the Beast, let us reflect on all the magic that happened at Aronoff Center for the Arts last weekend. From April 13-16, hearts were warmed as attendees witnessed acts of love, courage, loyalty and transformation unfold before them in this heart-warming magical experience not soon forgotten!

We could never have imagined the success and joy that Cincinnati Ballet’s Family Series: Beauty and the Beast brought to our city. From excited children to enchanted adults, we were grateful for all of you who ventured out with us on this incredible journey through wonder! Your enthusiasm lit up each performance in a special way – it was truly magical watching everyone get swept into an unforgettable adventure right here at home. Thank you so much for joining us in making these moments happen – your support is something we will always be thankful for!

The lobby activities wowed the crowd


From the most adorable photo op stations to engaging activities for the little ones, there was something for everyone who experienced the show! Seeing the beaming faces of the kids interacting with art and ballet brought such joy and happiness to each show. We owe this incredible experience to all our wonderful volunteers and Aronoff Center for the Arts team who worked together to bring this magical moment to life.

We owe our success to a team of incredible artists. We simply can’t thank our dancers enough for their incredible talent and dedication to bringing this beautiful world to life on stage! We are also so grateful to all our production staff who worked tirelessly behind the scenes to make it happen.

Most of all, we extend our immense gratitude to our Director Of Second Company – CB2 Suzette Boyer Webb, Jacqueline Damico Amador, Peggy Dolkas and Pamela Robinson-Harris for the magical choreography, and David Huevel for the beautiful costumes!

Each person had an invaluable role in its success and none of this would have been possible without their help. #ThankYou #CreateTheMagic
