HB's Marie opened this week, and has shows until next weekend. It travels to New Orleans after the next rep. Molly Glentzer's (review link provided below) impressions, are in sych with my experience of the production. Some additional images than those provided in the review can be viewed at http://insightphotography.smugmug.com/Dance

Many thanks Amitava! I'm looking forward to reading more reviews.

A new young friend is in the production, and our mutual friend told me he was going to travel to Houston to see it. I'll ask him for his impressions, and try to find out more than how [kid's name] was smile.gif

I haven't been able to attend an HB performance in what seems like a very long time, but every now and then I like to keep up with what's happening at the company. I found some Marie videos on youtube, provided below if anyone is interested:

Welch's choreography here looks to be in the vein of McMillan and Cranko. Why, there's even a bedroom scene!
