		The red shoes are back on the feet of the other woman, and the scraps of paper fly back to Kate.
		In our culture, she begins, we may travel life's path in one of two ways: in hand-made shoes -- crafted with love and care according to the unique needs of the individual soul; or in red shoes -- initially promising instant fulfillment, but ultimately leading to a hollow, painful, split existence.

	Variety.com - Reviews - The Red Shoes
		Many hands cobbled "The Red Shoes," and every one of them is evident in this mishmash musical version of the beloved ballet film.
		"The Red Shoes" ballet is reserved for the final scene, preceded by a confrontation in Vicky's dressing room between Boris and Julian as the curtain is going up, over whom she should follow -- her Svengali, to stardom, or her lover, to a different kind of happiness.
		Having contemporary theater and dance talents mix it up with legends from Broadway and Hollywood's golden ages came only partly by design, and it never pays off: One moment "The Red Shoes" is angst-ridden, hand-to-brow melodrama; the next it's "On Your Toes, ""Gigi" and "42nd Street" all rolled into one.

		There is important music here from absolutely classic films, but the frequently intrusive sound effects and speech greatly distract, as does to ears attuned to modern recordings, the over all poor sound quality.

		One thing that isn't indicated on the cover is that the album contains copious amounts of narration, dialogue extracts and sound effects.
