Thou Swell (ballet)

Thou Swell is a ballet created by New York City Ballet's balletmaster-in-chief Peter Martins to the songs of Richard Rodgers in an arrangement by Glen Kelly with orchestrations Don Sebesky.

This article is about Peter Martins' 2003 ballet. For Rodgers and Hart's 1927 song, see Thou Swell.

The music is performed by an on stage trio and two singers. During the course of the ballet one of the male dancers (Nilas Martins in the original cast) "sits in" at the piano. The premiere took place on 22 January 2003 at the New York State Theater, Lincoln Center, with scenery by Robin Wagner, costumes by Julius Lumsden, supervised by Holly Hynes, and lighting by Mark Stanley.

gollark: Yes.
gollark: Most *newer* languages only have one or two compilers, in my experience.
gollark: Haskell attracts the sort of people who write Haskell interpreters for fun, but GHC supports all the extensions and libraries and whatnot.
gollark: It's the only actually used one.
