Bolshoi Nutcracker casting for 12/19

If you've visited the Emerging Pictures Ballet in Cinema website like Haglund has been screaming at you to do, you know that on Sunday, Dec. 19th at 11:00 a.m. EST the Bolshoi Ballet's Nutcracker will be presented LIVE in theaters all across the U.S.  In Manhattan, we will be enjoying the performance at Manhattan Cinemas which is located at 239 East 59th Street.

Haglund fished out the 12/19 casting from the Bolshoi website.  The only player not yet listed is . . . The Nutcracker Doll!  So we're going to be surprised!  Here's the cast list from the Bolshoi's website:

    I wonder if this Victoria Osipova playing an Indian doll is a relative of Natalia.

    Oh and I’ll bet you anything the Nutcracker doll will be danced by Julian Assange.

    Don’t know if the two Osipovas are related or not. Likewise, don’t know if the two Vasilievs are distantly related – even though their incredible portrayals of Spartacus make one wish for at least some connection.
    LOL. Julian Assange as the Nutcracker doll. What a story he’d have to tell. Everyone would listen intently and profit from publishing it, and then betray him for releasing the story.
