THE KENNEDY CENTER

LITTLE DANCER WITH SUSAN STROMAN

Sun, Oct 5, 7:30 pm

Inspired by the obscure ballerina who

posed for the famed Edgar Degas

sculpture Little Dancer Aged Fourteen

(1879–81), this new musical follows the

young dancer Marie Van Goethem as

she struggles in the Paris Opera Ballet

and inadvertently becomes the world’s

most recognized dancer. Excerpts

will be performed by four-time Tony

Award–winner Boyd Gaines, three-time Tony Award–nominee

Rebecca Luker, and New York City Ballet principal dancer Tiler

Peck. Director and choreographer Susan Stroman will participate

in a moderated discussion with Lynn Ahrens (book and lyrics) and

Stephen Flaherty (music).

Arrive early and stay late to view Degas’ Dancers in Green and Yellow

(Danseuses vertes et jauntes), from the Guggenheim’s permanent collection,

from 6:30–7:30 pm and 8:45–9:30 pm in the Thannhauser Gallery.

JEROME ROBBINS

FANCY FREE TO ON THE TOWN

Sun and Mon, Nov 9 and 10, 7:30 pm

In 1944, Leonard Bernstein

and Jerome Robbins

created the ballet Fancy

Free and with Betty

Comden and Adolph

Green transformed it into

the musical On The Town.

See excerpts from Fancy Free, a performance of “New York, New

York” from the original On The Town staged by Robert LaFosse

and excerpts of the fall 2014 revival of On The Town by Tony

Award–winning director John Rando and Emmy Award–winning

choreographer Joshua Bergasse. Robbins biographer Amanda

Vaill moderates the discussion with LaFosse, Bergasse, Rando,

actress Phyllis Newman, and writer/narrator Jamie Bernstein,

daughter of Leonard Bernstein.
