In this spirited production of Leon Minkus's delightful ballet, young lovers Kitri (Nina Ananiashvili) and Basilio (Aleksei Fadeyetchev) are thwarted by her controlling father (Viktor Ailkin), who has plans to marry her off to foppish nobleman Gamache (Vladimir Golub). But when dashing adventurer Don Quixote (Alexsandr Astafiev) enters the village with his sidekick, Sancho Panza (Evgeny Katusov), fate just may smile upon the star-crossed couple.
Lucifer is a show with both comedy and drama, but most importantly, has charm. Well aware it’s following a silly premise, the show does so in a way that’s entertaining. Sure, sometimes it can be cheesy, but fun cheese.

An aspect of She-Ra that I find refreshing is even though a large portion of the cast is on the LGBTQ+ Spectrum, being gay is never mentioned. While this might initially sound like a negative thing, in the show’s land of Etheria being on the gay spectrum is shown to be so common and normalized that straight isn’t the default. As much as there is to appreciate about narratives revolving around the obstacles that may come from being non-heteronormative, it’s nice to get immersed in a world where no one bats an eye at all to any sort of differing identity.
Do not trust Rotten Tomatoes. That is what I learned after watching Eternals. Critics currently rate it a 48%, but it's an amazing character-focused Marvel movie with positive diverse representation.
