I hope they announce the casts for Sadlers Wells soon.

[Marg S]

I hope they announce the casts for Sadlers Wells soon.

Afraid you will have a wait. The Birmingham casts for early October aren,t out yet. Usually around two weeks before

[aileen]

I'm looking forward to seeing the mixed programme at Sadler's Wells. I'm not sure whether I'll go and see Sleeping Beauty. This may depend on casting.

[aileen]

Looking at the casting for the Lowry, it doesn't look as if there are going to be any exciting debuts. I would have liked to see Momoko or Maureya as Aurora.

[patsomerset]

Looking at the casting for the Lowry, it doesn't look as if there are going to be any exciting debuts. I would have liked to see Momoko or Maureya as Aurora.

 

 

I saw Momoko as Aurora in Plymouth in March 2010 so she has made her debut.  Very lovely she was too

[Jan McNulty]

Usually the first week tends to be established casts so hopefully there will be more casts in Birmingham and on tour. Momoko is a glorious Aurora so I hope we will have the opportunity of seeing her again.

[Don Q Fan]

I am delighted with the opening night cast - and that Momoko will be dancing, albeit not as Aurora.   I am sure she will be wonderful anyway!  I am also very excited to see Marion Tait as Carabosse - can't wait.  I am very envious of anyone seeing Tzu-Chao Chou as BB too I think he is one to watch!

[Pulcinella]

I went to a Beauty rehearsal for BRB Friends recently and it was Maureya with Matthias Dingman in the Act 3 pas de deux.We were told they will be dancing in B'ham as will Momoko with Joseph Caley. I look forward to seeing both casts - I saw Momoko with Alex Campbell last time Beauty was performed and it was one of the best Beauty's I've seen for years.

[Jan McNulty]

Hello Pulcinella and welcome to the Forum!

 

I was fortunate indeed to see Momoko and Alex' debuts in Sleeping Beauty last time round.  It was a very special performance indeed.

 

I'm seeing a couple of performances in Birmingham and Sunderland (as well as the Lowry) so hope I will see her again at one of those. 

 

We'd love to hear your thoughts on any performances that you see!

[Jan McNulty]

BRB has published casting for the Penguin Cafe Programme at the Hippodrome, Birmingham next week.

[alison]

Hmm, so the triple bill is cast until the end of the month, but not Sleeping Beauty.  Am wondering if there are some potential injury issues or something.

[Jan McNulty]

Not that I am aware of.

[Bluebird]

[alison]

Okay, so now I have to decide whether to return my Don Q ticket or to go with my original inclination.  I wish they'd put it up a few hours earlier, then I could have booked while I was at Sadler's this evening.

[capybara]

Okay, so now I have to decide whether to return my Don Q ticket or to go with my original inclination.  

 

And don't forget, everyone, that ENB's new Corsaire is on down the road in Milton Keynes the same week. Too much to fit in!

[Tony Newcombe]

19th October, Lauren Cuthbertson as Juliet and Natasha Oughtred as Aurora. So few British dancers in principal roles and yet again dancing at the same time!!!!! 

[alison]

I see Cesar Morales has been replaced by Joe Caley in tonight's Tombeaux, but still appears to be doing tomorrow night's performance.  Grrrr.  I hate it when they do that.

[Tony Newcombe]

I don't think he was ever due to Tombeaux with Hirata. The partnerships in Tombeaux have been Hirata and Caley; Sakuma Morales for the whole season

[alison]

Oh, sorry, it's the whole partnership - hadn't registered that Sakuma was out as well.

[Tony Newcombe]

For anyone interested, cast sheets are now available on BRB website. Everyone on stage for Triple and Beauty is listed. RB take note
