All casting subject to change.

I'm really looking forward to see the NBoC dancers in Robbins choreography! Interesting thought that some casting is still TBA, given that the premiere is on wednesday.

The dancers have joined together to form a new blog: Backstage Pass.

It is great to read all the entries about the Western Canada tour and how rehearsals are going. Unfortunately, it also sounds like there's been quite a few injuries (Zdenek Konvalina, Aleksandar Antonijevic), although it's good to hear about some recoveries (Keiichi Hirano, Alejandra Perez-Gomez).
