Yes, the new R&J is many times hotter than the Stowell version (which I've seen a handful of times).
Another part of the Stowell R&J that I always despised was all the awful mugging and miming that was required of the dancers to get across the complicated details of Shakespeare's story. The Maillot R&J smooths over all those details and gets to the heart (and passion) of the story in a much simpler and less awkward way.
Excellent choice for the Genius Award! I've been a PNB subscriber for over 10 years and have been delighted with the new vigor that Boal has brought to the company.
