Did you see this one from Broadway? Guy tried to plug his phone charger into a fake outlet ON STAGE. http://www.playbill.com/news/article/audience-member-tries-to-use-stage-outlet-to-charge-phone-at-hand-to-god-352658

Hey, sorry to post this here but this is the only forum I've ever posted in and I have a really burning question and dont know where else to post this. Someone asked what kind of ballets I like and when I saw that question I thought "I don't know - ballet. What exactly did the person who asked the question mean?" So I bought several DVDs - one of Ashton ballets, one called Chroma, Limen and Infra, Alice in Wonderland, one from the Bolshoi, one from the Canadian ballet. Guys! My mind has been blown for two days! The Chroma DVD is unbelievable!! I've watched it every chance I've gotten! The Ashton! Omg how can such amazingness exist in this world? Mayerling, People, Mayerling! I go to the ballets here in Milwaukee usually twice a year but none have ever moved me like seeing these different styles and amazing choreography. The ballet ends here and I look over at my niece and say, "want to go for coffee?" I finished watching Chroma and couldn't move! I'm not sure I took a breath the whole time! I'm not exactly sure what I'm asking except maybe how do I learn about what's good in ballet? I mean, the ballet here is good because, you know, I appreciate all the hard work they do, but it's always been, "that was nice" not "I am so stunned I can't move." I wonder though if I knew more I would find it excellent? Is there a better place to post this? Am I making any sense? I've pretty much decided I'm going to London in Spring and gamble that the dancers I'd like to see will be in Winter's Tale and Frankenstein, but now I'm kinda sad there won't be more contemporary ones there.

Hi! I had thought about seeing Romeo and Juliet on October 9 with Cuthbertson and Bonelli, the. Connectome/Ravengirl on October 10. I was also just reading about Sadler's Well, which sounds like it's also a dance theater? They have a show by The Ballet Boyz that I could see on October 8. Yes, I like contemporary work as well as story ballets. The dancers I'm really interested in seeing are Lamb, Cuthbertson, Watson, McRae, Cambell, Underwood. I also think it would be really interesting to see Olivia Cowley and Beatriz Stix-Brunell.

So, I have a chance to go to London (I'm American) and see a performance at the Royal Ballet. I had thought to see Connectome/Ravengirl because it has a lot of the dancers I want to see cast in it. But i'm reading on here that perhaps it's not the best performance for me to go to, given this will pretty much be a once in a lifetime trip. There are certainly shows in the later seasons I'd love to see, but the cast list isn't out yet for those shows. Should I hold out for later in the season, hoping that the dancers I want to see will be cast in shows? Anyone with more experience with the Royal Ballet have any advice? Thanks!
