Well, I know what two shows I WISH I had had my debut in...
-The Producers or -A Chorus Line
The Producers for the versatility required and A Chorus Line, because it bought the life of dancers out of the shadows (or is the closet? No, no - shadows...)
"...But Kungurtseva reels off multiple fouettes and the tape is stopped so she can take a bow. The Jester, an abomination introduced to Swan Lake in Soviet times, extorts applause from the audience. The cuts don't help the storytelling, the production is bare bones and they go for the '50s-style happy ending.
The audience cheers like mad at the end. It's the Russian ballet, after all..."
