Holy moly!
On Saturday night, ABT corpsman Gray Davis (husband of soloist Cassandra Trenary) jumped onto the subway tracks at the 72nd Street station in Manhattan to rescue an unconscious homeless man who had been pushed onto the tracks by a woman. Despite a herniated disc, Gray lifted the victim to the platform where others pulled him up. Upon hearing an approaching train, he had to battement his leg to the top of the platform to pull himself up off the tracks.
Gray will be a pirate tomorrow night in Le Corsaire in the same performance in which Skylar Brandt takes the lead role of Medora for the first time. Everybody's going to be there, right?

Maybe, it will take a subway track rescue for K MCK to give Gray a break. He has just about everything except a chance for a solo role.

True, Jose.

I’ll be there, Haglund. It’s a good thing Gray’s a dancer or it would have been curtains for him.

Great!
Almost as soon as we mentioned that Skylar’s performances were on TDF, they disappeared! Hmmm.
She will be fabulous tonight. She’s got this even with her eyes closed. 😉

Skylar was fabulous last night! And the fact that she was asked to learn the role on Friday…wow. Also, Haglund, what does “TDF” mean? Thanks

Christine Shevchenko just got cast to replace Gillian Murphy and Veronika Part in Le Corsaire. Crazy season.

Christine’s now been given two additional Medoras (Friday and Saturday evenings). The ABT soloist ranks are getting quite the (deserved) opportunities this season!
Cannot wait to see Skylar on Thursday.

Yup, I’m going again Thursday too.

Wow, Murphy, Part and Boylston out of Le Corsaire. What does that mean for next week? Are they going to have to pull Vishneva’s Swan Lake out of mothballs for this emergency? Would like to see Shevchenko take a crack at Medora, but the male cast components are too weak for the money. Maybe Rush Tickets will make it do-able.

There are four potential SL openings for ballerinas. Kochetkova, Part, Murphy, and Boylston.
Im rooting for Sarah getting a SL and Devon to get a second. However, Hee Seo seemed to be the de facto ballerina replacement in the past, no?

No one deserves it more than Sarah Lane.

I’m hoping Sarah is given MK’s Swan Lake since she could easily be paired with Simkin. After having seen their Giselle, I think their Swan Lake could have the power to bring people to tears!

Sarah Lane and Daniil Simkin are on fire this season. I never thought they were that well suited to each other in the past, but this season shows they have sparks. Lane definitely deserves a Swan Lake. She would be gorgeous.
It is so ironic that this is one of ABT’s greatest seasons in many years, all due to them being forced to use their talented soloists. Many of whom have been forced to take back seats to guest stars.

And Sarah danced O/O with Corella when he had his company in Spain. That could be a plus or a minus in McK’s eyes, but for me it’s a definite plus.

Yes, a Sarah and Daniil Swan Lake would be incredible!
