Tomorrow is Robbie Fairchild's last NYCB performance ...

[Bruce Wall]

I don't know where I was (very busy certainly) but I totally missed this:

The Company won't be the same without him ... Fairchild gave such great dramatic performances.  Sad too that his marriage with his brilliant wife has now also ended.  They were a magnificent team.   Shame London audiences never really got a chance to appreciate that.  

 

It will be interesting to see what the future brings for this fine artist.  One can but wish him the very best.

I think I knew he was leaving but agree NYCB losing a terrific asset. 

Oh how sad he and Tiler have split they seemed so happy but I guess too much time apart hasn't helped. What a shame.

Yes, we certainly mentioned it on here, and I was surprised not to hear anything from you about it, but think I'd gathered from comments you'd made that you were very busy at the time.
