pnb: new york city tour casting
By Rosie Gaynor
I know I'm not the only one who follows PNB like fanatics follow football. Who's out due to injury? What rookie is the coach playing this week? How does it change the game? Do you remember when they did the same thing back in '96?
I can't say PNB's PR manager was surprised when I asked for the cast list for their NY performances this week (Joyce Theater, January 5 through January 10). Here it is, with some pix of the works they're performing there...plus a little commentary...

Lallone/Dec
Milov/Cruz

Porretta
Foster
Kerollis (set on Gaines)
Eames
Moore
Ricard (set on Thomas)
Postlewaite
Dec and Cruz were such a great couple in Petite Mort, so it would be fun to see them in this sexy sequence that Lallone and Milov do so well here. I'm so sad Gaines is still out with an injury; at least he's in the ads for this show, even if he can't be in the show itself. Kerollis will do a fine job, though. We've missed Jodie Thomas all season in Seattle, and her light touch and sparkle will be missed in Opus 111 at the Joyce. She and Postlewaite built a little spatial relationship with this piece that was just lovely. I'm still getting to know Ricard, which makes sense, given the roles she's had. Still, I haven't yet been able to see past the wall of technique to her personality except for one brief moment in the last rep. If she's got more of that, bring it on. Having caught a glimpse of it, I'll look harder next time.

Marco Goecke's Mopey
Moore/Porretta/Griffiths
I pity the poor folks in New York who might only get to see one Mopey. Three men; three different Mopeys; gotta see'em all.
Check out the movie...

I'm a little shaky on the original cast for 3 Movements. I'll have to track down my old program to see if there were other cast switches. One never gets enough of Griffiths' elegance and humor, of course, of course, but Sar's wild entrance and raw power gave 3 Movements an edge that was mirrored in Körbes and Bold's entrance. It's a shame to have him sit this one out, Coach Boal.
