Program reminders

NYCB The Nutcracker Live-streamed at the movies TONIGHT 6PM Eastern.

NYCB The Nutcracker Live from Lincoln Center PBS Wednesday night at 8PM.

San Francisco Ballet's The Little Mermaid on Great Performances PBS Friday night at 9PM.  It repeats on Christmas Day.

Also, ABT opens its BAM run of The Nutcracker by Alexei Ratmansky on Wednesday with Veronika Part and Marcelo Gomes in the leads.  So far the only two performances that are approaching sold out are the Wednesday and Saturday matinee performances with Veronika and Marcelo.  Buy now or live to regret missing them.

REMINDERSarah Lane and Joseph Gorak will debut as the leads in The Nutcracker on Wednesday, December 21st at 2PM and on New Year's Eve afternoon at 2PM.  How often do we get to see Sarah Lane in a full length lead role – almost never.  It seems Ratmansky appreciates her even if McKenzie doesn't.  See Sarah's debut with the remarkable soon-to-blast-off Joe Gorak or forever regret it.  People are going to be talking about this debut for a long time to come.

    My PBS station isn’t showing the Nutcracker until the 18th! So disappointing.
    Will you be seeing the Lane/Gorak cast Haglund?

    Oh, no, sorry you have to watch it “delayed” but I’ll have to watch it delayed as well, because the performance coincides with ABT’s opening night which I’m attending.
    Yes, I’m attending the Lane/Gorak debut and probably their second performance, too. I wouldn’t miss this debut for the world!

    I can’t wait to hear your thoughts about opening night, Haglund, which I was unable to attend. Also about the Lane/Gorak debut. I’ll be attending their second performance on New Year’s Eve Day.
