	Christopher's Programs for Private Parties
		CHRISTOPHER starts off with a solemn, spooky, candle-lit 13-minute slide, video, or powerpoint presentation about the efforts of legendary magician Harry Houdini to debunk psychics, spiritualists, and mediums (also smalls and larges...ahem), and his promise to contact his wife from beyond the grave, and her annual seances designed to contact him.
		Once CHRISTOPHER is in contact with the world beyond, participants whisper the names of dead celebrities from the list, and CHRISTOPHER attempts to contact those individuals who, through him, actually speak to and interact with the participants.
		After everyone is seated and the main course has been served, Lt. Columbo begins the Christopher and Co. LIVE act, entering on a "routine investigation", and then begins a short song which introduces the audience to Christopher's rapid-fire impressions.

	deseretnews.com - Movie review: Highlander II: The Quickening \| Deseret Morning News Web edition
		Naturally, due to its ancillary success, "Highlander II" was inevitable — and here it is, again starring Christopher Lambert in the lead and Sean Connery in an extended cameo (for which he was no doubt handsomely paid).
		The planet is even more bleak than Earth, especially with nasty Michael Ironside in charge, and Lambert and Connery fail in an attempted coup and find themselves sentenced to a fate worse than death — life on Earth.
		In short, lots of action and wild stunts, lame comedy (Ironside's villain is so zany he must have watched Alan Rickman in "Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves") and a story that makes no sense whatsoever.

	Virginia Ironside - Help and Advice on a wide range of issues
		Virginia Ironside's mother, Janey, was a leader of the 60s cultural revolution.
		Having grown up in colonial India, Janey suffered a painful childhood separation fro her parents and grew to be obsessed with the notion of a ‘smart’ life.
		She married dashing artist Christopher Ironside, but eking out a wartime rations ill-suited a woman whose idea of divine punishment was to ‘spend an eternity washing up.’ Dress-making soon filled the void, while her daughter Virginia endured a string of au pairs, embarrassing outfits and acute loneliness.

	Online Review London - Sylvia
		The three-act ballet, Ashton's second full-length work after 'Cinderella', was only partially recorded in the Royal Ballet's film archive and until the discovery of 'primitive' (Newton's word) celluloid footage showing a 1965 rehearsal, reliance on dancers' memories and archival clips formed the basis of interpretation.
		The production is a success in terms of sheer visual virtosity, from the dancers to the scenery (an Ironside pastiche that gives a nod to Poussin's blind Orion).
		The Neo-Classical costume and set design give the production coherence but the overall integrity is compromised by the decision to use the three-act structure, with the concomitant sag in the middle revived only by smoke and special effects.

		Gathering together a group of other vets, including international arms dealer Frank Bruce (Michael Ironside), McBain heads south to initiate his own revolution against the corrupt presidente (Victor Argo).
		Marshalling bands of guerillas and battling government troops, McBain and his bunch make their way to the capital, intent on toppling the dictator.

		Just be happy that Christopher Lambert agreed to reprise his role as Connor MacLeod and be done with it.
		This special edition of Highlander II (originally Highlander II:the quickening) is a much improved version of the redone 1996 renegade version, as far as effects, but the story is still the same junky one as then.
		Lambert is excellent back to his role, Connery is wonderfull as usual and Ironside is either funny and evil, one of the best actings of the movie, he alone have some of the best moments of the film.

	Michael Ironside, the Bad Guy?
		Two major movies that received top billing that Ironsides appeared in were Top Gun (1986) with Tom Cruise and Extreme Prejudice (1987) with Powers Boothe and Nick Nolte.
		Michael has had numerous appearances on TV with shows like Walker, Texas Ranger, ER, The District, Superman, Tales of the Crypt, The Cold Squad, The Outer Limits and the A-Team.
		I wish to thank Ironside Photorama for the use of the great photos to illustrate this article.

	Horn Of Plenty - June 6, 2005 - The New York Sun
		The revival of the work, under the stewardship of Christopher Newton, is a tribute to Ashton.
		As a result, this streamlined "Sylvia" illuminates more than a story of one martial female restored by the machinations of Eros to love again; it also restores a focused energy on the exquisite clarity of composition and wry intelligence of the dancing.
		Instead of the mythological subject getting tripped up with pesky footnotes, a clearing is made in the rococo shade of Robin and Christopher Ironside's set design.

	Sylvia - John Percival (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		All this has been faithfully revived by Christopher Newton from memories, notes and bits of film.
		A former dancer with the Royal Ballet and later successively notator, répétiteur, ballet master and artistic coordinator, it was his persistence, energy and devotion (I’m quoting the programme note of Royal Ballet director Monica Mason) that were responsible for bringing the ballet back to life.
		Ashton often protested that he didn’t want his works saved, but his actions showed otherwise, and after Christopher Newton had worked on the revival of “Ondine” Sir Fred suggested they should go on and tackle “Sylvia”.

	Ballet-Dance Magazine -American Ballet Theatre - Sylvia - Metropolitan Opera House, New York
		The present revival, lovingly and apparently faithfully resurrected and staged by Christopher Newton, who danced in the original production, unfortunately revives the ballets flaws as well as its virtues.
		A second viewing permitted me to modify my overall first impression from opening night that the piece was a choreographic hodgepodge.
		But Act I, which takes place in a dreamily beautiful forest glade is often wonderful (the original designs by Robin and Christopher Ironside have been gloriously revived, with additional sets by Peter Farmer).

	The Stage \| Reviews \| Sylvia
		This homage to the 19th-century French ballet style is a light hearted mythological story of a nymph captured by huntsman and restored by Eros to her true lover.
		Peter Farmer tastefully developed the original attractive Second Empire designs of Robin and Christopher Ironside to provide sumptuous sets and costumes.
		Some may claim that none quite match Fonteyn’s playful musicality when the ballet was created on her in 1952.

	The Great Canadian Guide to the Movies & TV: De
		Lots of quirky characters and decent performances -- particularly Grenon and Ironside (both in slightly smaller parts than their billing would suggest) who give delightfully atypical performances as inhabitants of an all-night diner the hero frequents.
		But the basic plot is a little run-of-the-mill, and structurally it seems more like a good novel, with lots of characters and plot threads, but as a movie it could use some tightening and focus.

		Fragments of it, appearing subsequently on gala programs, served as tantalizing reminders that there was something in the work—perhaps a good deal—worth keeping.
		The present production, which returns on the whole to the original, was staged by Christopher Newton, a Royal Ballet veteran, who admittedly had to do a good bit of “filling in,” his sources being incomplete.
		A similar restoration process characterizes the current scenery and costumes; the original, Second Empire-style, designs by Robin and Christopher Ironside have been renewed by Peter Farmer.

		But Christopher McDonald, of the TV show Family Law, is wasted doing only 5 minutes work as a meteorologist and is credited with the line: "It's the perfect storm," referring to the hurricane colliding with a cold pressure and some other weather pattern that I didn't understand.
		The size of the waves could wipe out New York in an instant, and is very realistic.

	The New Yorker: The Critics: Dancing
		Last year, Christopher Newton, who served as a ballet master under Ashton, reconstructed “Sylvia” for the Royal.
		The ballet demonstrates all the qualities for which Ashton, forty-seven years old when he made it, was already famous.
		“Sylvia” borrows many conventions from the Paris Opera Ballet of the Second Empire—that was the company that produced the original “Sylvia” (1876)—and its ravishing sets and costumes, by the brothers Robin and Christopher Ironside, are even more faithful to that period: Beaux-Arts cloud banks, couturier togas.

	PlaybillArts: News: Revival of Frederick Ashton's Sylvia Premieres at Covent Garden
		A revival of Frederick Ashton’s Sylvia, with a score by Léo Delibes, will be performed for the first time tonight by the Royal Ballet in London.
		The ballet has been restored to its original three-act version by Christopher Newton, a former ballet master under Ashton, the founding choreographer of the Royal Ballet.
		Newton had to rely on filmed versions of the ballet, in addition to his own memory, in order to reconstruct the work, because Ashton did not use dance notation.

		The corps, as surreal creatures, peasants, concubines, muses, and attendants, with children from the new ABT Kennedy Onassis School, was as busy tonight as the principals, as this production was an inherently equalized venture, with a full compliment of dance for the entire company.
		Kudos to Sir Frederick Ashton, and kudos to Christopher Newton, Robin and Christopher Ironside, and Peter Farmer.
		And, kudos to Charles Barker for his attentive conducting of this long, but lesser known score.

		Based on Greek myth, the story tells how Sylvia becomes enamoured of the shepherd Aminta after being struck by one of Eros's arrows.

		As someone who reviewed the ballet's first night at the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden, on September 3, 1952, and whose wife danced in it, I can vouch for the revival's almost unexpected authenticity.
		The Royal Ballet's Christopher Newton has done an extraordinary job in piecing together fading videos and even faster fading dancer memories, patchworking the whole fabric together as seamlessly as designer Peter Farmer put together, with minimal necessary revisions, the original Second Empire designs by Robin and Christopher Ironside.
		The beauty of Ashton's work is capsulated in the divine simplicity of its choreography, which merges with the equally effortless 1876 Delibes score to provide a double image of old-style Paris Opera grandeur and new-style 20th-century neoclassicism.
