I really don't see where Chita is a couple of steps behind Gwen, except in the parts where she's intended to be behind.

I have never understood why an East Indian mudra was incorporated into the revival's "Hot Honey Rag".

Actually, amateur productions don't HAVE to use the original staging on Fiddler and West Side Story - but they have to give credit to Jerome Robbins as the original choreographer in the program. You can use the choreography guide provided, or you can use parts of it and add your own stuff (in most cases, moves that are too difficult for untrained dancers are simplified).

That is true. But, I can't count the number of amature productions of A Chorus Line where they had to alter the choreography because the dancing was too hard for the untrained dancers in that production. The credit is usually choreography in the style of Michael Benett.


I have heard the same things for a production of Fiddler.

Someone should put those teens in jail! And give that $72 they made in ticket sales for the High Steppers Drill Team 22nd Annual Benefit directly to Ann Reinking so she can buy that new black turtleneck she so desperately needs.

And you can totally see on their smug little bitch faces they totally thought they were going to get away with it. They won't be smiling when they're being interrogated by the FBI. Choreo-terrorists is what they are! Throw the book at them all!

The local high school spends $25,000 on their annual musical. They typically earn a profit of $10,000, between ticlet sales and program ads. They have a 48 page program, of which 40 pages is ads - at $100 for a quarter page.

Mistermatt, your sarcasm is precisely the reason why we need better laws regarding intellectual property rights---it seems that with all of the downloading going on today, nobody wants to respect copyright anymore---until it's your stuff they're stealing.

Who said it was sarcasm? If only we could still burn people alive at the stake.

By the way, who was credited for the choreography for that video clip in their program? Does anybody know?

Well, that's ok then. Never mind.
