    This weekend, Jen and I saw Romeo and Juliet, staged by the National Ballet of Canada. It was a delightful show. Amazingly, I didn’t fall asleep. Seriously. I can think of several reasons: The music is memorable. I would be surprised if you didn’t recognize some of the music. The story is familiar with everyone.…
