And now Megan Fairchild, too?!

Broadway World is reporting that NYCB's Megan Fairchild will make her Broadway debut as Ivy Smith in the revival of On the Town which is set to open at the Lyric Theatre on 42nd Street on October 16th. Previews begin September 20th.

Megan Fairchild, Robert Fairchild, and possibly Tiler Peck all on Broadway during the same season in On the Town, An American in Paris, and Little Dancer? Unbelievable. The Fairchild siblings could be up for Tony Awards in competing revivals.

 In a New Zealand Herald interview, Ethan Stiefel said that he's facing a fifth knee surgery in the near future among other comments such as these:

[Question]  You trained alongside Rudolf Nureyev and Mikhail Baryshnikov - what's the biggest myth about celebrity male dancers?
[Answer]  That the only celebrity male dancers are from Russia.

[Question]  What is the best advice you've ever been given?
[Answer]  I quite often think back on something one of my main teachers, Andrei Kramarevsky, at the School of American Ballet used to say: "Take it easy, but take it."

Hi Haglund -- have you heard any reports on Veronika's Giselle last weekend? I couldn't make it down there, but I'd love to hear some details from anyone who got to see it. Thanks!

Nothing yet, but my eyes are peeled.
