  1. She is perhaps my favorite ABT lady! I can't wait to see her dance O/O in New York. 💖🦢
  2. 2:10 is probably fairly accurate. I was at the matinee today and the lights dimmed at 2:03, and I was out of the building by 4:20. Getting out took awhile due to the crowds and the fact that I was seated in the Fourth Ring.
  3. I love MT! I remember a few seasons ago in Raymonda Variations, she burst out of the wings in a HUGE pas de chat that had the audience agasp. I hope we see more of her!!
  4. Christopher Grant was also out, but I don’t recall who subbed for him.
  5. Hey, at least the costumes weren’t this: Gorgeous Anthony Huxley, extraordinarily poignant music… and a clown costume. 🤡
  6. For new faces in Tall Girl, I'm partial to Ashley Hod and Naomi Corti!
  7. Hear, hear!! I have never seen Emeralds done like Mira did it last season. It was revelatory. I adore Mira's Tall Girl, but Kikta also has a great Tall Girl. Of the 3, Rubies is the one I'm most willing to give Mira up in. Mira's Diamonds, whenever she gets it... that will truly be a thing to behold. For years I felt so regretful that I wasn't alive in the 60s/70s to see Gelsey and Suzanne, but now I just feel so grateful and joyful to be able to see Mira in all her glory.
  8. She mentioned on her story that she was guesting at Eastern Connecticut Ballet. She hasn’t yet done Dew with NYCB.
  9. This is the one casting that would tempt me to buy a ticket to a second Nut this year. (Already going to von Enck–Mejia–Peck.)
  10. They’re taking their sweet time posting week 4 casting. Especially when some dancers have already posted snippets 😭
  11. I have two tickets to tomorrow's company class that I won't be able to use—would anyone like them? The class is at noon on the stage of the Koch. Send me a DM!
  12. Emma was sensational in Rubies! I agree with abatt about Mira’s Emeralds debut—it was a revelation.
  13. I was at the Saturday night performance and was particularly struck by Taela Graff. She had so much polish, presence, and charisma that she would've looked right at home on the NYCB stage. At times during Napoli I found myself watching her in the background instead of the dancers doing solos.
  14. I have seen Sara dance probably hundreds of times in my years watching NYCB. Her dramatic capabilities are superb; I wish very much that I could travel to see her dance this role.
  15. Agree. I thought Nadon stole the show last night. I was annoyed to hear the audience's loud "aww :(" when they announced that Nadon would replace Fairchild. Maybe "gen pop" doesn't know how good Nadon is??? I like Fairchild a lot and was sorry not to see her, but Nadon is phenomenal and she blew it out of the water last night. Couldn't ask for a better surprise. Gerrity was struggs to func in the solo originated by Mearns. That solo is HARD. I loved Emma von Enck; she was precise, full of energy, and charming. Ulbricht really does seem ageless! They would also have been exciting! Oh well, perhaps another time.
  16. Too bad. I'm attending Sunday's performance and I was hoping that Nadon would fill in for Fairchild in Square Dance too. 🙈 (Although they'd need someone other than Huxley to partner her.)
  17. I subscribe for the discounted prices and the ability to exchange dates.
  18. SCREAMING CRYING THROWING UP WONDERFUL NEWS!!!!!
  19. Exciting!! Lots of great ballets. I'm relieved because I found the past few seasons varying levels of odd in terms of rep choices.
  20. Totally agree. I can't keep my eyes off Misseldine when she's dancing, even if she's dancing a demi-soloist role behind a principal dancer. I selfishly wish she was at NYCB so I could see more of her!
  21. Nadon as Waltz Girl, swoon! I will definitely be there for this 🤩
  22. Raymonda Variations is one of the very few Balanchine works I've seen that I did not care for at all. Everyone looked incredibly tense in it when I saw it in the fall
  23. So sad to hear this. His dancing and aura are so special. What an eloquent statement.
  24. I was there last night too—I agree with all of this! I've admired Mira pretty much since she first joined the corps, but I thought she looked extra-gorgeous last night. 🤩 I'm contemplating going to see it again on Tuesday with Mr. mille-feuille.
