The characterizations in "The Merry Widow" gave a number of PNB dancers the chance to stretch themselves dramatically when the company produced it.  I remember especially that Kari Brunson made a huge splash as the Loud American Tourist and especially character dancer Uko Gorter's gracious portrayal of the Baron.  He was like a male Marshallin.

It is a particularly hummable score as well.

AND there is a part of the Chicago area audience who will be intrigued, as they will remember Ruth Page's version.
