bangorballetboy Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 Swan Lake 22 November is now Cojocaru (replacing Cuthbertson) and Bonelli. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alison Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 Looks as though Benjamin replaces Cuthbertson in Requiem - have I read that right? http://www.roh.org.uk/productions/19734 If so, we really couldn't ask for anything more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MargaretN7 Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 Benjamin is the other role. Helen Crawford replaced Lauren at the dress rehearsal, and very nicely too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluebird Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 Benjamin is the other role. Helen Crawford replaced Lauren at the dress rehearsal, and very nicely too. According to the original casting (at the top of this thread), Helen Crawford was always listed for the cast we saw at the rehearsal (the second cast). Leanne was only down for the first cast but it looks like she's now replacing Lauren in the third cast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alison Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 But Helen was doing the "leotard" role. Are you saying she's down to do the "white" role as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MargaretN7 Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 Well, as long as the dancers know what they're doing, which they do.....! I think some of us got confused. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluebird Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 But Helen was doing the "leotard" role. Are you saying she's down to do the "white" role as well? No. If you look at the casting at the top of this thread, the 'white' role is listed first, the 'leotard' role is listed second. Helen was always listed in the leotard role in the second cast. Lauren was listed in the white role in the third cast and Leanne is now listed instead. Hope that's clear now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alison Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 Tipped off by a posting on Twitter, I see that Fumi Kaneko is replacing Lauren Cuthbertson in her one public performance as the Sugar Plum Fairy on 15th January. I suppose that doesn't bode well for her scheduled Firebirds either, although she's still showing as cast for that one. I *will* get to see Lauren as SPF one of these years ... Grrrr.

capybara Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 Please does anyone know what the position is with Lauren? Someone the other night mentioned her needing a further operation. I feel very concerned for her - and, of course, disappointed for us all that she is not on stage at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fumi also dancing the SPF in a 'closed' family performance (for first timers at ROH, I think on 6th Jan, and a matinee) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daughter was supposed to be seeing Lauren as SPF at the Welcome Performance on 6th Jan, but the casting has changed to Fumi Kaneko. :-( The good news is that lovely Leanne Cope is dancing Clara. :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She has not been seen on stage since well before Alice's Adventures in Wonderland (Feb/March 2012). Does anyone know what's wrong??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alison Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 No, she did Alice - and maybe something after that - my mind's slightly blurry as to what there was between that and Prince of the Pagodas. She had an operation on her foot over the summer, I believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just that Lauren (along with Marianela) is my dd's favourite and she was delighted at the thought of seeing her as SPF. It was the disappointment of the cast change which resulted in the :-( - not Fumi. :-) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alison Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 As later discussion of Lauren Cuthbertson's injury involved her replacement in the Firebird/In The Night/Raymonda Act III bill, which is in period 2, I've moved it into the appropriate thread: http://www.balletcoforum.com/index.php?/topic/1536-rb-period-2-casting/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
