| Zachary Catazaro is 28 years old and was promoted to NYCB principal in October 2017. His participation in the disgusting chain of obscene photos and texts concerning female colleagues at NYCB and SAB is not as explicitly detailed or incriminating as what Finlay and Ramasar allegedly did. He is a very good (but not remarkable) dancer who is tall and hardworking but not a superstar. Chase Finlay looked like he was going to be a superstar but his promise very quickly dimmed. He had a very bad injury some years ago that took years to heal - he was on crutches with a foot cast for a long time. His return to ballet was not as impressive as before. Finlay's partnering came under criticism from Macauley in the NY Times. His brilliant early promise was not fulfilled and the recent Apollos weren't as impressive as his debut. He was in noticeably bad technical form when he came back from injury and only partially recovered his form. Amar Ramasar is 36 years old and definitely is in the last years of his career. What the bigger problem NYCB has is a shallow pool of outstanding male principals - some are just there like Jared Angle or Ask La Cour. The company is going to need to increasingly depend on up and coming corps and soloist men like Joseph Gordon, Roman Mejia and Harrison Coll to beef up the male roster. Macauley certainly noticed David Hallberg in his NYT reviews and was a vocal admirer of his dancing though Hallberg also is technically diminished by multiple injuries over the last five years.
