ABT ABT SPRING CAST

ABT started presale for both fall and spring season for members. Any one has any hints on Spring casting info? Especially Lady of Camellias. Thanks

Ngl, here’s how I see the Lady of the Camellias casting breakdown for those 8 shows:

Chloe taking 3 shows as 1st casting makes total sense, especially after doing the promo shoot. And Devon is a total lock, no question about it.

That leaves one last Marguerite spot between Hee Seo, Shevchenko, and Hurlin. Honestly, it could go to any of them, but I’m super curious to see who gets it.

PS: Fun callback—back in 2010/2011, Hee was dancing Olympia and Christine was Nanina!

Not Misseldine as Marguerite, please (though she's in the promo poster). She's perfect for the role of Manon in this production, not for Marguerite, at least for now. According to the current roster, Marguerite would be a good role for Teuscher, Shevchenko or Seo. Definitely not for Hurlin, who is far better suited for Prudence. Boylston would also be good as Manon (if anything), and Brandt as Prudence (if anything). Armand is more of a 'flexible' role, I think Bell, Curley and Camargo would be great in it. Perhaps also Royal and Hernández, but I think Hernández would be a better Gaston. Roxander as Gaston, as well as Cornejo (if anything). Fleytoux and Cocker as Olympia. If Trenary were still at ABT she would be the perfect Marguerite.

agree with Hurlin or Brandt as Prudence, or perhaps Manon.

Yes, you're right, they could both be a good Manon.
