LinMM Posted Thursday at 16:22 Share Posted Thursday at 16:22 I think Fumi would make an excellent Queen of Hearts and possibly Anna Rose O Sullivan as well. Or even James Hay or Luca Acri! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said, Lauren Cuthbertson is dancing with two Alice/Jack pairings which leave 3 more, so room for third Queen?

Emeralds Posted Sunday at 13:04 Share Posted Sunday at 13:04 I think this is the first time I've seen "doubling up" for this ballet - ie dancers taking on different lead roles in the same run, namely Richardson dancing both Mad Hatter and Jack, and Sissens dancing both White Rabbit and Mad Hatter. When Steven McRae switched from the role of Mad Hatter (created on him) to Jack, he no longer danced Mad Hatter, and I was slightly disappointed that I couldn't book to see him as MH and as Jack in the same run. Glad he is back reprising MH! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FionaM Posted Sunday at 15:29 Share Posted Sunday at 15:29 I hope the doubling up of male roles with the tapping Mad Hatter won’t cause physical problems. Shale Wagman doubled up as White Rabbit and Mad Hatter whilst performing in Alice in Munich and his subsequent injury time out may have been attributed to that. On his return he performed White Rabbit ‘only’ to much success … neurotic and jittery. … as could be seen in the livestream a year ago. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emeralds Posted Sunday at 17:34 Share Posted Sunday at 17:34 (edited) I don't do tap to advanced level but was indeed wondering if it is potentially an injury risk if you have to switch from an all tap role one night to a role with a lot of classical dancing the next or soon after. I would have thought classical ballet role before tap role is less risky than the other way round, unless they have at least a week to get used to classical dancing in a full length ballet. Conversely, White Rabbit to Jack would have been easier as both are classical technique, I would have thought. Would be interested to hear what advanced classical ballet and tap dancers among us have found. Edited Sunday at 17:36 by Emeralds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Hay and Lauren Cuthbertson seem to be White Rabbit and Queen of Hearts together- same dates. A great team! There are lots of performances though. I agree we could do with a few more White Rabbit/Lewis Carrolls. I thought Valentino Zucchetti, Ryoichi Hirano or Nicol Edmonds would have been good in the role too. Plus I also thought there would be more Queen of Hearts/Mothers. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JaneHartley Posted Monday at 22:17 Share Posted Monday at 22:17 Marianela for Queen of Hearts maybe? They seem to be transitioning away from the older Alice's and they need to find something for her to dance in this season! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oncnp Posted yesterday at 10:11 Share Posted yesterday at 10:11 Although @balletfanatic did say "new" Alices and, according to the database (not always accurate, I know), Hayward and Takada have danced Alice before and Naghdi has not (can't imagine how that happened). Point taken on Hinkis though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
