Per the brochure that arrived in the mail today, the principal dancers for the six-day run at City Center (can't really call it "a season") are:
Herman Cornejo
Marcelo Gomes
Paloma Herrera
Julie Kent
Gillian Murphy
Veronika Part
Xiomara Reyes
Cory Stearns
Note the name that is missing between Gomes and Herrera. Where will he turn up? Moscow, New Zealand, London? Should be interesting.
The poverty-programing of this run is going to have the audience running in the opposite direction. However, the performance on Friday, 11/11/11 will be packed just so everyone has a place to celebrate that marvelous looking date and also be together should the world come to an end. It's also Veterans Day so it will be nice to see a performance of Compa–– oh, wait, ABT isn't performing Company B on Veterans Day. Kind of a lost opportunity there, wouldn't ya say? It probably would have even made the TV news coverage @ 11 (that's 11/11/11@11), especially if it ran 1st in the night's performance. Oh, well.
Here's hoping a name that starts with A gets moved to the top of that list come November....

Funny. My first thought was the Mr. H's injury must be worse than was let on. I guess we'll find out this fall.
