The Joffrey's return to Cyrus Northrop Memorial Auditorium at the University of Minnesota for the regional premiere of Cathy Marston's Of Mice and Men, featuring an original score by Academy Award-nominated composer Thomas Newman.

The Kennedy Center celebrates the return of The Joffrey Ballet, one of the premier companies performing in America today. Looking beyond the stories we always see, the Joffrey presents a new ballet based on the novel Anna Karenina by Leo Tolstoy.

A gripping tableau of shadows and colors, Neumeier’s beautifully haunting interpretation of Hans Christian Andersen’s 1837 fairytale follows the tormented mermaid heroine on a journey between the divergent worlds of land and sea—one utterly complex, the other magnificently serene. With sets and costumes of the grandest scale and an original score by composer Lera Auerbach, this fantastical love story, based on Andersen’s original and decidedly complex themes, makes its long-awaited Chicago debut.
