vrsfanatic Posted September 18, 2003 Share Posted September 18, 2003 I do not live anywhere near Houston, but could you please let me know if you see a new corps girl named Bridgett Zehr doing anything special? Thank you so much in advance! Link to comment
Old Fashioned Posted September 18, 2003 Author Share Posted September 18, 2003 Zehr is an apprentice. I'll keep an eye out for her! Link to comment
vrsfanatic Posted September 19, 2003 Share Posted September 19, 2003 Thank you so much! Link to comment
pugbee Posted September 19, 2003 Share Posted September 19, 2003 vrsfanatic, thought you might like to know that Bridgett Zehr appeared in Forsythe's "In the middle....." in the first cast! I saw her name in the program the night I went, but couldn't find anything else about her in there... no bio. I guess if she's new, then that explains it. Where did she come from? Link to comment
Hans Posted September 19, 2003 Share Posted September 19, 2003 Good choice seeing Bears, Old Fashioned Let us know how she does! It must be interesting for Lauren Anderson to dance both the Lilac Fairy and Carabosse. Is Carabosse a dancing role in Houston's production? Link to comment
Old Fashioned Posted September 19, 2003 Author Share Posted September 19, 2003 I have no clue. If it isn't, it won't be the first time I've seen Anderson in a mostly mime role. Link to comment

Yeah, she was apart of the cast I saw, too, although I don't remember much of her. An inside source tells me she's from Florida. I was also told she'll be dancing in SB as one of the Lilac Fairy's assistants. Link to comment
vrsfanatic Posted September 20, 2003 Share Posted September 20, 2003 Yes, Bridgett is from Florida! Any notification of what she dances and how would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! :grinning: I did read the review posted on BalletAlert about In the middle...,not bad for an apprentice to be first cast! Link to comment
nlkflint Posted September 20, 2003 Share Posted September 20, 2003 It must be interesting for Lauren Anderson to dance both the Lilac Fairy and Carabosse. Is Carabosse a dancing role in Houston's production? Hans, in the Houston Chronicle's review, this was said about the role of Carabosse: In some versions of Beauty, Carabosse is a hag. In Stevenson's she's a wickedly beautiful ballerina. Lauren Anderson, having a ball, made her as sharp as that deadly spindle. Link to comment
glebb Posted September 20, 2003 Share Posted September 20, 2003 I'm sure Bens "Sleeping Beauty" has changed a lot since the old National Ballet of Washington days, but back then Susan Lorher was an incredibly beautiful (sur le pointe) Carabosse. She even had huge wings while guiding the Prince to Auroras castle. Link to comment
Old Fashioned Posted September 21, 2003 Author Share Posted September 21, 2003 Alas, no rush tickets available for tonight's performance. The only other performance with Bears as Aurora is next Saturday's matinee; I'm crossing my fingers they'll have some then, but I have a feeling it's going to be bought out mostly by parents taking their children. However, I did get the chance to pass by the theater today and watch a few dancers on their way to rehearsal. It's always disappointing to see one puffing away on a cig, though. (I hope that's not considered gossip...no name will ever be mention; I'm just concerned about the welfare of some people.) Link to comment
Swanilda Posted September 28, 2003 Share Posted September 28, 2003 Zehr is a lovely dancer with an ideal body and feet and physicality as well as a very lovely person. She is from Harid and attended HBA's summer courses (with me!). Link to comment
Cristina Posted September 29, 2003 Share Posted September 29, 2003 Old Fashioned, At the risk of sounding ignorant.... What are rush tickets? Thanks, Cristina Link to comment
Old Fashioned Posted September 29, 2003 Author Share Posted September 29, 2003 Don't worry about sounding ignorant! The only way to learn is to ask questions. Rush tickets are tickets that are discounted for students or seniors. These are the "left over" seats that no one has bought at full price. Link to comment
