Is anyone surprised or excited to see any of the NYCB dancers in these roles??

I'm a little disappointed that I don't see Bouder's name.

Well, I'm happy to see that some of my favorite corps stalwarts have featured roles in Coppelia:

Lauren King: Dawn
Ashley Laracey: Spinner
Dena Abergel: Prayer
Gwyneth Muller: Discord and War

I saw Abergel dance Prayer last season and she was benevolence incarnate -- it was a lovely performance, and graceful in every sense of the word.

A different cast is up for the performance I have tickets for, so it looks as if I'll miss them them this time around, alas (not that the cast I'm seeing is anything to gripe about, mind you).

I'd like to see Bar in Concerto Barocco and Gilliland in After the Rain, too.

What does dismay me is NOT seeing my favorite dancer Glenn Keenan in roles
she is more than capable of doing. It becomes more and more difficult to write checks
to support a company that ignores a beautiful faithful company member, Glenn Keenan.
Very long time devoted viewer, Bewe.

What stuck out to me is that once again Tiler Peck is getting great roles. I would guess that it can't be long until she is promoted to principal.
