Very very late to the game here, but I wanted to add that Abeo made an incredible debut. She deserved more than just the one show! During the post show talk, she mentioned that she only had four rehearsals with her new partner, Postlewaite, but they had great chemistry and perhaps because of lack of rehearsal, it all seemed so fresh and exciting. Abeo portrayed such youthful joy in act one, certainly more so than any Giselle I've seen. And her mad scene sent chills throughout the crowd. She's an incredible actor and it all felt so heartbreakingly real. I saw Generosa the week before, and compared to that, Abeo really shot expectations through the ceiling. In act two she was so buoyant it seemed she might float up to the cat walk. So, so beautiful. I hope that PNB performs Giselle soon again, and that she gets the chance to blow the audience away again in this role.
