alison Posted April 26, 2022 Share Posted April 26, 2022 They don't seem to have much on streaming at the moment. I'd thought they were going to relaunch it, but very little as yet. I assume they will at least be streaming this: they've recorded all their recent new full-length works almost immediately, IIRC. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow! If only New York City Ballet and American Ballet Theatre could do the same here. (Ha ha…impossible, I know, due to funding patterns, union rules, etc. We can dream.) The Royal Ballet and Vienna Staatsballett are my hero companies of the 2021/2022 season with honorable mention to Stuttgart and a few others that I’m undoubtedly forgetting.

Many thanks for getting in touch and lovely to hear from you again. I have been in touch with our Catering Department on your behalf and have been advised that a filtration machine in the Dorfman Conservatory which wasn’t being used now is and should resolve the issue.

maryrosesatonapin Posted May 6, 2022 Share Posted May 6, 2022 I saw the film, years ago, and seem to remember a pregnant woman's waters bursting all over the family's supply of salt which was then put back in the barrel for use in the kitchen..... I assume this will not be re-enacted in the ballet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally what I'm worried about is the scene described in the Wikipedia synopsis as "At the wedding, everyone gets violently sick, vomiting everywhere." I have emetophobia so if they stage this realistically I wouldn't be able to cope with seeing it. I wish companies did trigger warnings for this sort of thing & not just for gunshots or strobe lighting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FYI in case you need to avoid it, there is 'vomiting' at the end of the Ball scene in Romeo & Juliet as the guests exit. in R&J it is acted not actual, i suspect it will be the same in Like Water.

I know but that's one person for a couple of seconds, so I can look elsewhere on stage at that point. But if everyone on stage is vomiting then it'd be a lot harder to avoid! It also doesn't have to be done realistically to be a problem for me. I once went to a preview of a musical, The Light Princess, at the NT which had a scene where the heroine was force-fed & was stck. It wasn't staged literally - her being sick was portrayed by streamers being unfurled - but I had a panic attack & as I was mid-row I couldn't leave. Since then I've been very wary of new shows/productions. I can't decide whether I'd be better to wait until after the first performance of Like Water For Chocolate, ask those on here who attended how that scene was staged, and then see if I can get a ticket if I think it'd be okay, or if I should book a ticket when booking opens on Tuesday & then return it if the first night reports indicate something I couldn't cope with.

I certainly notice it, though I try not to. Actually though I sometimes find watching Juliet's reaction to taking the poison more of a problem, as some of them act it as if they're retching & that bit of acting lasts longer, plus there's nothing else on stage to look at. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ElleC Posted May 27, 2022 Share Posted May 27, 2022 Does anyone have any inkling whether the third cast (ie Takada and Campbell) will actually be dancing this, given that I think both may have been injured fairly recently? I have a ticket for this cast and am really hoping all is well but also rather wary since there has been no further reference to them since the casting was announced. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately there seems to be a dearth of news about either in this context, and whilst they are still currently listed, cast changes can be announced pretty late on.

zxDaveM Posted May 27, 2022 Share Posted May 27, 2022 in the final insight, Chris Wheeldon estimated that Act 1 is 45mins, Act 2 30mins, Act 3 20mins. So add 2x 25mins intervals, a few minutes for rounding errors, sounds like it should be 2hrs 30mins (give or take 5mins). Which is nice, as makes getting the train home nice and easy 🙂 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
