Alex Hammoudi will replace James Whiteside as Prince Desire opposite Gillian Murphy's Aurora in the March 4th and March 8th evening performances of ABT's new Sleeping Beauty at the Segerstrom Center in Costa Mesa.
Blaine Hoven will replace James Whiteside as Bluebird at Saturday's matinee opposite Stella Abrera.
Both Hammoudi and Hoven have been victorious in every role that Alexei Ratmansky has entrusted them to pitch and we expect them to be so next week. Lucky LAers.
Hi Haglund, Does the UIEX have any information about why Whiteside was replaced? Or shall I just trust my intuition?

Hi, Angelica. We have no information concerning why the changes were made. Let's hope that a good showing from each gets them similar opportunities during the Met season.
