curly and jud do not appear at the doors. they don't appear at all, until the very end of the ballet when everyone walks out. maybe they did at st. annes, but not here. also the boots. they dropped 1 by 1 the first time I saw it, and now they drop all at once. which is quite jarring when they all hit the ground.
while curly no longer appears, she starts dancing seductively AT HIS GUITAR (how did I miss this before) and she starts mimicking Laurey's dancing from earlier in the show when Curly is singing.
then the ballet shifts to Jud and (AGAIN HOW THE HELL DID I MISS THIS BEFORE LOL) the lights go dark. the night vision camera comes out and starts filming the dancer THE SAME EXACT WAY it was filming jud in the smoke house scene.
it doesn't hint at anyone dying, but maybe they did that so its more of a shock at the end for those that aren't familiar, but I definitely understand how the new modern dance ballet is a tug of war between her desire for curly and jud.
I still think its way too long. lol but thanks for making me re-examine it
