Hi.  I attended the Career Transition For Dancers gala last night at City Center.  This year's program focused on Broadway.  In prior years, the galas have highlighted more ballet and modern dance.  I found this year's gala less satisfying than usual because a lot of the Broadway show excerpts, devoid of costuming and scenery, looked out of context and underwhelming.  There was only one ballet offering.  Herman Cornejo and Xiomara Reyes of ABT brought the house down with Le Corsaire PDD.  For me, it was  definitely the  highlight of the evening.  Another highlight offering was an excerpt of Pippin (which I have never seen).  Bebe Neuwirth was one of the three dancers in the piece.  This was great Fosse dancing.
