DeborahB Posted January 4, 2010 Author Share Posted January 4, 2010 Don't forget Kaitlin Gilliland debuts in Fancy Free as well!! Of course! That said, the women's roles in Fancy Free aren't the heart of the ballet. I do hope we see Kaitlyn in a lot of role debuts this coming season though! Link to comment
carbro Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 It's true that the three women's roles are smaller than the sailors', but it looks like Kaitlyn is the one who arrives during the last few seconds of the ballet. She does a slow developpe, turns around a few times and sashays off, with the gobs in chase, as the curtain falls. The role usually goes to a tall, leggy, blonde corps dancer. Unless you are a huge fan who absolutely must see Kaitlyn in every role she does, I wouldn't recommend buying a ticket solely to see her. Link to comment
