So expect to see some folks in jeans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MULLY Posted December 13, 2006 Report Share Posted December 13, 2006 What the fuck is wrong with you guys? There is nothing wrong with going to see the ballet. The Nutcracker is excellent. You're going to enjoy it. Wear the suit. MULLY of course my mother was a dancer and I grew up around that shit so it's normal for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swan Lake was awesome by the way--the Bat Dude ruled. But I do know something about opera and classical music. And the music for many ballets I've never been to. The best by far in my opinion is Prokofiev's Romeo and Juliet. One of the themes is semi-well known and is often played on the History Channel when Stalin is the subject.

The guys doing the dancing are queerer than a football bat. But the dancing itself is really good. MULLY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven't seen the play. As for Die Fledermaus, I only know the overture but it's a bigtime fave of operetta fans. Right now I have Gilbert & Sullivan's HMS Pinafore playing in my truck.
