sandik Posted February 13, 2006 Share Posted February 13, 2006 i have: on tape and on stage, not memorably. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Not that memorable, no, but the cast list of the television program made my throat close up -- the late 70's Joffrey company was the iteration I knew best, and they had a significant affect on the way I saw ballet. Thanks for the lovely reminder! Link to comment
