Timmie Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 Ooh I've got Laurretta opening night at Liverpool great! And I've got her a few nights before at Milton Keynes - equally great! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capybara Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 James Streeter always dances Mouse King and Drosselmayer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tatiana Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 I've got Tamara! I've never seen her in Nutcracker before, so I'm really looking forward to this. I think Erina was actually injured at the end of the summer - probably healed by now, but maybe that's something to do with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alison Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 I'm amazed Rojo still dances Clara: you'd think after all the performances she put in in the Derek Deane production she might have developed an allergy to it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swanprincess Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 Has anyone met Tamara at the Coli stage door after a show? I'd desperately love to meet her but wouldn't want to spend a fortune on tickets etc if she doesn't usually greet fans after a show, as I could get a cheaper matinee ticket to see a different dancer instead! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan McNulty Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 She was in the audience when not dancing when I saw Giselle. I spoke to her briefly in the interval. She was charming even though she was obviously rushing backstage. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Q Fan Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 I've met Tamara after Russian Icons etc at the Coli, she does stop but not for long. I met her in Manchester after the premiere and her own performance in Khan's Giselle and she was happy to sign autographs and luckily not too many people were there. She's lovely.

swanprincess Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 Thank you! On the Coliseum website, is there the option to select your own seats, rather than selecting a price band & being allocated a seat automatically? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aileen Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 Yes, you can choose your own seats at the Coliseum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LinMM Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 Disappointed not to see Shiori Kase in at least a couple though I think Rina will be interesting so may book to see her or Summerscales! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LinMM Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 Though like the Cojocaru supporting cast as well and have never seen Alina do this role so think that may be the cast to go for for me this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tatiana Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 (edited) I was surprised about Shiori too! LinM - you're right, I think Rina will be a really wonderful new Clara, I wish I had the chance to see her as well.
