Rodeo

Rodeo, Agnes de Mille’s humorous love story about a tomboyish cowgirl in the pioneer West, is an American classic. This audience favorite is set to Copland’s spirited score, including the famed “Hoedown,” and features costume designs by Tony Award® winner Santo Loquasto. Blending ballet with elements of American folk dance, the choreography vividly captures the spirit and landscape of the West. Its blend of humor, romance, and Americana continues to resonate with audiences across generations.
