Thank you for this thorough review, Ellen! I really enjoyed reading this part. As an aspiring actor and fan of great acting, I could totally see this being the case, whether or not it was. Very interesting!ERinVA wrote:The show ran reeeealllly loooong. Not sure why, but I suspect it had to do with the subs, as there were some very pregnant pauses at spots that caused me to wonder if a line had been dropped. I don’t think any actually were dropped, but the timing made me think that mental wheels were doing some turning in order to call them up.
I have to comment here too because it made me so happy to read! Dancers (I'm DEFINITELY not one) and balletomanes alike will always appreciate the amazing work of the Billys, but I find as a fan of the show that I'm always so happy when a Billy nails a particular dance. Though I don't think I've ever said, "Good boy!" lol I have let out a "Yes!" or a "Wow!" or a "Holy crap!"ERinVA wrote:the man said he was a dancer, and needless to say, he was really impressed with Drew, who, of course, nailed everything, including the rope skipping in B2B, with ease (by the way, “Billy jump” off the piano instead of a flip). At the end of “Solidarity,” when Billy does his first fouette’s, the woman gasped “Good boy!” And as intermission began, I heard her telling her friend that she started to tear up when she saw that. I can just imagine what she thought when he absolutely drilled the spins at the end of “Electricity,” which, no surprise, got loud applause from the audience.
Enjoy the rest of your shows!!!
