Cocktail Hour is a sassy suite of dances conceived and choreographed by celebrated dance-maker Marilyn Klaus. The show serves up classical ballet with an irreverent pop sensibility, launching the Martini, Gimlet, Manhattan, and more off the menu and onto the stage. Original scores by Grammy-nominated composer Stephen Gaboury and exquisite costume design by Catherine Zehr complete the picture.
Selected by the Star Ledger as one of the "seven best things to do in New Jersey over the weekend," critics and audience members agree: Cocktail Hour is an artistically seductive must-see! The Huffington Post raves that Klaus is "blasting the boundaries between high art and entertainment," and that her style is a distinctive mix of "Hollywood glitz and New York polish," while The New York Times praises her as "witty and fantastic." You've never seen cocktails like these!

About Ballets with a Twist
Choreographer Marilyn Klaus formed Ballets with a Twist in 1996. In its inaugural year, the company appeared at Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts' Clark Studio Theater, the Church of the Holy Trinity, and other venues. Premieres included Seven-Minute Musical, in which an aging beauty reports from the frontlines of memory, and a short musical film, Temple of Swing, in which a glamorous "she" and her charismatic mentor meet in a world of fast cars, packed nightclubs, and mysterious fortune tellers. November, 2009 saw the premiere of Cocktail Hour, Klaus' signature evening-length collection of ballet vignettes, at Manhattan Movement and Arts Center.
