I didn't have a problem with the ballerina not singing (in fact, I didn't even notice that she didn't sing at, if that's the case). I thought I remembered hearing her voice and thinking it was not a big musical voice. Maybe it's hard to cast a triple threat when the ballet has to be so good. Rebecca Luker also doesn't dance a ballet number. I think they work together to form the character. My only quibble is/are some "jokes" in the script, kind of two-liners that were supposed to be humorous but landed thudly. Are they still there (a couple I remember: something like "Do you have children?" "No" "Well good for them." and another that ended with Gaines saying something like, "Well, you know, that's what makes the ballet go 'round" and there were others. Oh, and the Stroman number in the basement (?) with all the walls moving around. I guess it was the gimmick number, but I thought the scene didn't need to be so elaborate. What did you think about Ziemba? After Bullets, I was thrilled to see her talents really being used (and she actually was a ballerina). Thought she was very good as the mother. Also, the set is beautiful, very colorfully artistic like a Monet painting.
