Members of the Orlando Ballet meet their audience in a smaller venue and show us how they prepare for the big shows at the Phillips center. Tonight the artistic director Robert Hill presented some of the songs that will be featured at A Tribute to Harriett:Gala Event on February 25. Songs from Grease, Fancy Free and my favorite “Somewhere” from West Side Story featuring Arcadian Broad and Kate Robichaux in a most romantic pas de deux.
The second part of the show focused on choreography on the spot and spontaneous musical compositions by Broad. It was also a pleasure to see Daniel Benevides featured as a dancer in the newly choreographed piece. I’ll always remember his spectacular performance as Dracula. And Broad, always a miracle.
