Eugene Loring's "Billy the Kid" compares to Agnes de Mille's "Rodeo" in that it is choreographed by Eugene Loring and draws on the mythology of the American West. However unlike de Mille's ballet, "Billy the Kid" offers a bleak vision of the frontier, with a protagonist more fittingly characterized, according to one recent critic, as a "murderous psychopath".
