The Eurotrash performance that I jettisoned has a different cast from the one whose cover you showed - for instance, Irina Golub danced the role of Marie/Clara/Masha in the earlier issued performance (i.e., the one with the Eurotrash elements), whereas Alina Somova danced that role in the performance whose cover you showed. More importantly, the two productions are DIFFERENT from each other - the one that Somova dances in is much more traditional.I suppose this is kind of a threshold thing - how much monkeying around with the original concept is each of us willing to tolerate before we throw up our hands and say, "The heck with it!". I suspect I would not have been happy with the original Sugar Plum Fairy, Antonietta Dell'Era, who was described by contemporaneous critics as "corpulent" and "pudgy"! (BTW, wasn't there a recent ballerina in this role who, as one critic observed, looked as if she had been eating too many sugar plums herself! - on reflection, I think maybe she was just trying to be HIP!) So the change to more willowy Sugar Plum Fairies is at least one revamp to the original concept that I willingly accept. ;-)
BTW, so you liked the zombie kids? ;-)
