Well, I have tickets to opening night. All praise to the fourth ring society! The $12 price tag was too good to pass up.

But now I am wondering about the "substance" of this program. There is no "big" work that I can see, no chance to see a large corps. I hope that we won't be seeing three little ditties for our trouble!

Who else will be there?

I did not mean to imply, btw, that I only like big cast ballets. In fact, many of my NYCB favorites have small corps, or no corps--I am thinking of Apollo, Barocco, Dances at a Gathering.

I more meant that, after four months of no NYCB for me, and even longer for anyone who couldn't get to Saratoga, there are lots of dancers that I want to see--RIGHT NOW. That's all.

OK. Who has tickets to which performances? It has been years since I've ventured into the city to see Nutcracker, but this year with my daughter in college in NY, always good for an excuse to go in....we just might take in a performance. But I'd like to be a bit picky about casting and see who I want to see.

I like the looks of Saturday night November 30, but that is one performance that just won't work, so I'll just wait and see what develops after the first week.

It is strange to see an entire week sans Whelan, is it not? Don't know when I have ever seen such a thing. I thought she might be injured, but I see that she will be up in Albany doing several performances with a local ballet school on December 6 and 7. Might have to get a ticket for that.

But I would put the first two in reverse order:

Those listed on the first ballet are among the dancers that Chris Wheeldon seems to use frequently.

The second ballet features lots of male principals, I think I have seen LaFosse do this before. He is also in the ballet: does he generally choreograph for himself?

A week from tomorrow and we will know:)

Wendy Whelan has some Nutcracker's in Dallas, TX during that first weekend of performances. It is very hard for the dancers to get released during the season, but they make such good money guesting and sometimes they get to dance with people they may not ususally dance with such as Wendy with Philip Neal. Damian Woetzel and Julie Kent do Nuts in Lewisvile, TX that same weekend.
