text: I truly do love the Jabbawockeez. The things they did on ABDC were extraordinary and it transcended the hip hop dance group genre for years to come. The masks they don are a trademark and it's so huge in the scheme of marketing and style. The numbers they performed on MTV really captured the imaginations of audiences and the masks themselves allowed them to provide a physical humor as well. I'm a hip hop dancer myself and it was incredible watching them week after week wowing audiences. \n\nThey have added additional dancers (several actually) and are doing all brand new numbers. The theme \"Prism\" deals with colors and how it works into the show and our lives too.  The show is definitely geared towards families although some of the jokes are supposed to fly over the head of kids and get a chuckle out of high schoolers and adults alike. I really enjoyed the pretty neat production of the show. Flashy lasers, bright colorful lights, LED screens and thumping sound systems. The humor to me anyways had me cracking up. I enjoy how the Jabbawockeez embraced themselves as dancing mimes and they work it really well into the skits. The crowd interaction midway through the show is a good way to connect with the people.. although I felt it may have dragged on a little long. \n\nSince I have seen the show twice, once when I first moved here and recently last night,  I have to be as honest as possible from my dancers perspective (first), I'd like to believe the show, with it's top notch production and sick lighting lacked some of the energy that's needed to truly wow the audience. Some of the movements were missing that \"punch\" of energy and precision that provides the illusions to the moves themselves. It's really noticeable imo if you compare some of their older work to how they move now. Maybe 2 shows a night for 5-7 days a week can be taxing and it's just not easy to be synchronized from start to finish... but unfortunately it's expected from them. \n\nSome of the numbers desperately needed more on the choreography front too. Again, Jabba is known for creating the illusions and sometimes it seems like they are simply doing a choreographed number we see at a normal hip hop class at a local dance studio. If the numbers are lacking on top of the effort of the movement, it's tough to embrace the things that made America love them. \n\nOn a more positive note, I still have to give them credit on a few pieces that still made me say \"Siccckkkkkk\" like two man number on \"I got 5 on it\"  and their final battle scene. Their natural charm through their movements will always be endearing to people, especially kids. But for the hardcore lovers of dance and an even casual fan... I'd love to just see them break more boundaries and step up on the effort.
