Masks and vaccines are required for MCB too ...

I would never go to a healthcare worker who was so irresponsible and reckless as to not get the vaccine but that's just me ...

Actually, you can. All NYCB dancers either got vaccinated or faced dismissal. My workplace has a mandated vaccine too -- those who didn't got taken off payroll immediately.

Well it's never going to end if people are selfish and don't get vaccinated ...

Another person I saw in the audience was Zach Catazaro. Lots of alumni and former members of NYCB.

I saw Heather Watts with Damian in the lobby. She was there, as was Eddie Villela. Ashley Bouder wasn't there but she might be rather immobile from her injury. I also saw Gillian Murphy in the lobby.

I wrote up a little appreciation of the retiring dancers of NYCB: https://humbledandoverwhelmed.blogspot.com/2021/10/nycb-waves-goodbye-and-says-welcome-back.html

Curtain call for Maria:

I think I saw Merrill Ashley too.

Lauren King got a solo bow at the end of LA Valse.

Well Tiler is amazing in Other Dances and she and Roman often dance together. I'm looking forward to it.

Reichlen used to always do it, Miriam Miller has done it, Rebecca Krohn used to do it a lot.

Back to NYCB -- got an email for Nutcracker tickets and uh ... sticker shock. Fourth Ring tickets START at $89.

I actually have seen farewells where the body language between the AD and the retiree was so frosty that it would have been better not to show up. Veronika Part's was like that. Abi might have requested their absence.
