Say Hello to Teatro ZinZanni’s “Bonsoir Liliane!”

Jay Friedman — Mon, 03 Oct 2011 18:00:05 +0000

All aboard the Red Swan Express! Attending Bonsoir Liliane! is like buying a ticket to Teatro ZinZanni’s theatrical train, for an enchanting and entertaining journey to Moscow, Bombay, Paris, and beyond. The train is the vehicle for a night of circus acts, performance art, improv comedy, and play. Lots of play. Directed by 9-time Tony-Award-winning Tommy Tune, Bonsoir Liliane! is a tribute to Liliane Montevecchi, the legendary actress and dancer who herself won Tony Awards in his productions of Nine and Grand Hotel.

Five dances into Pacific Northwest Ballet’s Season Encore last Sunday night, I got sick to my stomach. It suddenly became viscerally apparent to me just how much we are losing with the departure of eight PNB dancers: Chalnessa Eames, Barry Kerollis, Ariana Lallone, Stacy Lowenberg, Stanko Milov, Josh Spell, Jeffrey Stanton, and Olivier Wevers. “The end of an era,” said the couple next to me.

Balanchine’s ‘Midsummer Night’s Dream': PNB’s Serial Seducer (Review)

It's a different Dream every night at Pacific Northwest Ballet's production of the Balanchine work--the casting options must be driving balletomanes wild. Midsummer Night's Dream has just one more weekend ahead of it at McCaw Hall and then, like so many dreams, it'll be gone. With eight dancers leaving PNB at the end of this season, the stakes are high. So are the leaps. Of course you have to see Olivier Wevers and Kaori Nakamura in the Divertissement--but then there's Carla Körbes and Jeffrey Stanton, too!
