SheilaC Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 Beauty and the Beast trailer, what a waste of Brandon Lawrence. Unfortunately it's the only ballet they are taking to Sunderland for the year. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mauriceC Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 It was indeed choreographed by Cranko and was danced in the 1971 season. 16 hours ago, Springbourne3 said: Aaaaaaaaaaah ‘Hobson’s Choice’ 💖 love it like ‘Pineapple Poll’ - incidentally re ‘Beauty and the Beast’ does anyone remember the B and the B pas de deux that SWRB used to do - I saw Doreen Wells and Henrik Davel perform it a few times - the music was from Ravel’s ‘Mother Goose’ suite but I cannot remember who choreographed it though (1970s era). 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks so much for the link. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you - I cant find much info apart from that Cranko originally choreographed it in 1949 for SWTB and it was the complete B and the B tale within one pas de deux. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did have to look up the year;the dancers were a certain Margaret Barbieri with Hendrik Davel. For the record,the rest of the programme(S Wells) was Solitaire,Monotones 2 and The Grand Tour. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
