I appreciated that they didn't shy away from the issues surrounding the production, including the injuries and the Ramasar controversy - and also questions like whether the cast was being dwarfed by the videos (something Rudin was a bit evasive about but didn't deny it was an issue).

Was it me (or maybe just the language barrier), or did the choreographer seem like she was avoiding really answering the questions?

I have a question. Does “A Boy Like That/I Have a Love “ take place offstage in the bedroom depicted in the piece, so you only see it via video? Thanks.

Thanks for the heads up. I was able to enjoy it on the West Coast....and, yes, the choreographer was veeeeeeeeeeeery evasive.

Evasive about what?

What specifically was the choreographer asked that she didn't seem to answer?

If there's a link to the 60 Minutes segment anyone sees, could they please post it? I'm not finding it. Thanks.

I heard a new line in America! "Why waste my time in America?" seems to replace "terrible time in America."

Thank you for posting the link. Friends who have seen this production have loved it. I initially was skeptical, but it seems far more intriguing than either Laurents's of eleven years ago or Doyle's reimaginings of most of Sondheim's shows. I look forward to seeing it.

De Keersmaeker seemed quite forthright to me, if appropriately diplomatic in her responses.

Interesting! Talk about showing the good, the Bad, and the Ugly!

The use of projection screens on stage while the show is going on seems like a dumb idea....distractive. Another dumb idea: scrapping Jerome Robbins' choreography.
