I just recently started reading "I, Maya Plisetskaya"--her autobiography; it's a fascinating look at her life in the late soviet union, published in '01. If you're a big fan of hers, I highly recommend it...it's an intriguing look at the play between politics and the arts.

My boyfriend, Matthew Geiger, is dancing the role of the Egret Prince (which would be snow king) in this production...I am eager to find out more about the production and report it to all who are curious (yup, I got stuck at home in the snow!). Thus far it sounds like they are all having a fantastic time; the artistic director wants this production to become a tradition, and possibly even tour it in the coming years. I can't get you a review from the audience, but I can get one (via phone) from the wings! It's definitely a wild experience for many of the dancers, I hear...nice break from the usual victorian theme.
