Pulcinella Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 Casting is now up for The Nutcracker at the Birmingham Hippodrome on the BRB website. Casting for Sugar Plum, Nutcracker Prince and Clara only. As is now usual you have to click on each performance to find out the cast, I'll try to post a complete list later if someone else doesn't beat me to it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alison Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 Anything in particular, Janet? Apart from Chi being back, of course? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan McNulty Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 What else! Plus Brandon in the evening! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emma-cann Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 This is exciting! Defintely going to catch both Karla Doorbar and Laura Day as Clara (hopefully with Chi) - but I really wish I could see all casts. Seeing Yaoqian Shang as Sugar Plum would be an absolute treat. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Two Pigeons Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 It's an interesting mix of established and newer casts. I think it speaks well of the company's overall position that they can offer so many casts rather than a higher number of performances of certain couples. I would have liked to have known who is due to be Drosselmeyer as well though. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are a couple of performances with Karla as the Sugar Plum Fairy and Laura as Clara. Inevitably, an extra ticket required. Fortunately my subscription ticket is for one of Yaoqian Shang's performances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My husband is coming for his first ever trip to the ballet. I am really hoping he will enjoy it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alison Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 Out of interest (not that I shall be able to go tomorrow), I notice that if you hover over seats in the rear stalls for the matinee, a "£10 ticket offer" comes up. Does anyone know what that's about? Edit: Having done a dummy run, it looks as though it's just available to all comers.! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Q Fan Posted November 28, 2015 Share Posted November 28, 2015 Think it's to do with their anniversary year most shows have very reasonable offers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
