Viola Van Horn has a secret to share... in Broadway’s Death Becomes Her.
explore experience discover
The show opens with Viola Van Horn and her group of immortals sharing “a secret you would die for” by offering the audience a magic potion that grants eternal beauty and perfection (“If You Want Perfection”). Vain and self-absorbed actress Madeline Ashton performs in the Broadway show Me! Me! Me! (“For the Gaze”). She is visited by her old friend and struggling writer Helen Sharp, whom she frequently belittles and insults for her own amusement. However, Helen has one-upped Madeline by revealing she is engaged to famed plastic surgeon, Ernest Menville, and relishes the opportunity to get back at her frenemy (“That Was Then, This is Now”). Madeline invites the two over to her home, where she seduces Ernest (“Tell Me, Ernest”), steals him from Helen and ends up marrying him (“Madeline Ashton’s Intimate Wedding Extravaganza”), with Ernest promising during the wedding to stay “til death do us part” (“Ernest’s Real Vows”). Helen has a psychotic break and is forcibly committed to a mental hospital, where she obsesses over killing Madeline (“Madeline”).

synopsis Act 1 An open-air market in Paris As the ballet begins, we see the dancers shopping at an open-air market. Here we are introduced to Cinderella, her Stepmother and her two Stepsisters. A Prince also arrives in the market with his court. Cinderella and the Prince briefly bump into each other as the Fairy Godmother flies through the scene. The home of Cinderella, her Stepmother and two Stepsisters Returning home, Cinderella remembers happier days, dancing with a portrait of her mother. The two Stepsisters come into the kitchen and demand Cinderella prepare their breakfast. A mysterious old woman appears in the kitchen and is offered a cup of tea by Cinderella. The two Stepsisters rudely dismiss her. The Stepmother returns and banishes the old woman from the house. Soon, an invitation to the ball is delivered. Excitedly, the two Stepsisters prepare for the ball. A dress maker, a cobbler, a dancing teacher, and a wig maker all arrive. Cinderella’s Stepmother refuses to allow her to join in the preparations. As everyone departs, Cinderella is left sad and alone. The mysterious old woman reappears and reveals herself as Cinderella’s Fairy Godmother. Next the Fairy Godmother asks Cinderella to fetch her the biggest pumpkin she can find. Using her magic, she transforms the pumpkin into a sparkling coach with four horses, and at the same time turns Cinderella into a beautiful princess. She warns “Cinderella must leave the ball before the clock strikes midnight…or all is lost.”

The home of Cinderella, her Stepmother and Stepsisters — The next day In the morning, Cinderella awakens at home with one of her slippers, which reminds her of the magical night. The two Stepsisters return exhausted from the evening’s excitement. Soon the Stepmother returns home as well with the news that the Prince is about to arrive, in search of the owner of the matching slipper. The Stepsisters try in vain to make it fit. Cinderella’s Stepmother forbids her to try on the shoe. In their tussle, Cinderella exposes she has the matching slipper. The Prince recognizes she is the woman he loves. The Fairy Godmother appears and unites the lovers.

GENNADI NEDVIGIN ARTISTIC DIRECTOR
SHARON STORY DEAN, CENTRE FOR DANCE EDUCATION
11
In February 2016, Gennadi Nedvigin was named Atlanta Ballet’s fourth artistic director in the Company’s then 87-year history. Nedvigin, born in Rostov, Russia, began his training at age 5. At 10, he was accepted into the Bolshoi Ballet Academy. Upon graduating, he joined Moscow Renaissance Ballet as a soloist before he was invited to dance with Le Jeune Ballet de France in Paris. In 1997, while on tour in the U.S., San Francisco Ballet (SFB) Artistic Director Helgi Tomasson offered Nedvigin a soloist contract. After three years, he was promoted to principal dancer. During his 19 seasons at SFB, Nedvigin won the International Competition’s Erik Bruhn Prize (1999). He has also received three Isadora Duncan Dance Awards (2001, 2010 and 2017). Along the way, Nedvigin was fortunate to work with many worldrenowned choreographers. In addition to his dancing career, Nedvigin also taught master classes and staged ballets in the U.S. and abroad before becoming an artistic director. Recently, Nedvigin sat on juried panels at the World Ballet Competition in Orlando, the International Ballet Competition held in Jackson, Mississippi, the Japan Grand Prix and the Youth America Grand Prix. Under Nedvigin’s guidance, Atlanta Ballet has established the Academy training program, which includes a top-tier performance ensemble, Atlanta Ballet 2, representing his commitment to training for the next generation of professional dancers.
Sharon Story joined Atlanta Ballet after a professional dance career that spanned more than 20 years and included tenures with Joffrey Ballet, the School of American Ballet, Stars of New York City Ballet, Atlanta Ballet and 10 years with Boston Ballet. Her Boston Ballet tenure included international tours with Rudolf Nureyev. In 1996, along with her role as ballet mistress, Story became dean of Atlanta Ballet Centre for Dance Education (the Centre), which has grown to become one of the largest dance schools in the nation. The Centre is nationally recognized for its programs and community initiatives. Under Story’s direction, the Centre achieved accreditation with the National Association of Schools of Dance (NASD). She served as president of the board of directors for NASD. In 2021, Story received Atlanta Ballet’s Dorothy Alexander Award. She received the 2015 Women Making a Mark Award from Atlanta Magazine and was featured in the Arts ATL Legacy Series 2018. Story is committed to providing a noncompetitive atmosphere and access to dance education that is shaped by the community’s needs, is innovative and inspires the commitment and excellence that are the trademarks of Atlanta Ballet.
