Dogs on stage

[casablanca1]

I was absolutely distracted last month by the presence of two borzoi in the PA Ballet's production of Giselle. They were the best-behaved dogs, and I totally missed the dancing for ten minutes thinking "God, my dog would be in the orchestra pit biting someone by now." Anyone else have a 'wow, there's a dog on stage!' moment when they're trying to be all arty and sophisticated?

No, lol! The closest was this past Christmas when I went to see the Russian Ballet's touring company production of The Nutcracker and they used a bunch of kids from one of the snootier Knoxville dance schools. I daresay the Borzoi's were more talented and added more to the production you saw of Giselle than those kids did to The Nutcracker

No, but why wasn't I invited! Sounds nice.

I'm always drawn to productions that use animals...there was a production of Cinderella at the Starlight Theatre a few years back that had both horses pulling the magic carriage, and a dog that was following behind it. I think they used a Golden, but it's been a while.

I would love to see Borzoi's on stage though!

I did see a dog on stage during a Christmas concert I went to. He was up there with all the children and behaving so well.
