As of this moment, it appears that the poorest selling performance of ABT's Kennedy Center run is the Saturday matinee with Isabella Boylston and Daniil Simkin followed by the Sunday performance with Paloma Herrera and Ivan Vasiliev. Maybe audiences have finally had their fill of you-know-what. Surely this will change as ABT desperately distributes free tickets through its reach-out, accessibility-for-anyone-who-will-sit-through-it-and-scream-for-us programs. Gosh, it's surprising that neither Boylston nor Simkin have been slotted for opening night to insure their inclusion in media reviews. It's so unlike McKenzie to allow Abrera and Lane to be seen by opening night reviewers who, God forbid, might say something wonderful about them.
