âA Facebook user recently commented that the Eagles had âplayed like they were wearing tutus!!!â Our response: âWith all due respect to the Eagles, letâs take a minute to look at what our tutu wearing women have done this month: By tomorrow afternoon, the ballerinas that wear tutus at Pennsylvania Ballet will have performed The Nutcracker 27 times in 21 days. Some of those women have performed the Snow scene and the Waltz of the Flowers without an understudy or second cast. No âsecond stringâ to come in and spell them when they needed a break. When they have been sick they have come to the theater, put on make up and costume, smiled and performed. When they have felt an injury in the middle of a show there have been no injury timeouts. They have kept smiling, finished their job, bowed, left the stage, and then dealt with what hurts. Some of these tutu wearers have been tossed into a new position with only a moments notice. Thatâs like a cornerback being told at halftime that theyâre going to play wide receiver for the second half, but they need to make sure that no one can tell theyâve never played wide receiver before. They have done all of this with such artistry and grace that audience after audience has clapped and cheered (no Boo Birds at the Academy) and the Philadelphia Inquirer has said this production looks âbetter than everâ. So no, the Eagles have not played like they were wearing tutus. If they had, Chip Kelly would still be a head coach and weâd all be looking forward to the playoffs.â Happy New Year!â
Do not fuck with the PA ballet they will end you
