When Ulrich reiweved TLM last year for the SF Chron I was furious, as he didn’t seem to understand it, much less appreciate it and having been deeply moved by it, I was bothered by that. I too saw it when it opened on 3/20/10 and again this year on its 2011 opening night, Saturday 4/30. The cast was almost the same save for Pascal as the Poet instead of Lloyd Riggins as when I saw it last year. Pascal was great too, and once again I found this ballet spellbinding from beginning to end. I’m very excited that this year, I get to see it a second time with the alternate cast! It truly is a very special ballet and one I hope sticks around for a long, long time. Great write-up, and I agree with just about all of it.
