[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do they ever have live orchestra for nutcracker? I saw it a few years ago and was disappointed that it was a recording. Just out of curiosity, what share of kids who audition get cast? How many years dancing classes do they usually have under their belt? Or is it more about being able to follow directions for the basic kid roles? - mom who could see dd asking to do this in a few years but currently only has dance at school aftercare[/quote] Julie Kent has been talking about bringing back live orchestra for at least some performances - I haven't heard any update. I think most - but not all - kids get cast. My guess is 80-90% get a part at the younger levels. The youngest children who can audition are in preballet 3 -- generally about 6-7 years old. You must be a student at TWSB to audition, and you have to audition to get into the school (although I think most kids are admitted as well).[/quote]
