REVIEWS

The New York Times "Where’s Charley?"
“

The choreography by Alex Sanchez for the musical-comedy numbers is frisky and appealing.”


By Charles Isherwood


The New York Times “Fiorello”

“Thanks to the scene summoning efficiency of the director Gary Griffin and the choreographer Alex Sanchez, those melodies can be savored first hand (or first ear), in all their lively variety.”

By Ben Brantley


The New York Post "Where’s 
Charley?"
“

Alex Sanchez’s inspired choreography enlivens such giddy numbers as Pernambuco and The New Ashmolean Marching Society.”
B

y Elisabeth Vincentelli


New York Times- Guys and Dolls
 "The musicals opening, with their splayed legged jumps and arm-waving gyrations recall the choreography of Keystone Kops comedy-one packed with Kops who went to ballet school. Mr. Sanchez's best choreography, at once smooth and punchy, is reserved for the guys. In the action packed Crapshooters Dance" packed Crapshooters Dance" By Sylviane Gold
