Cecily as the Last Female Fritz in Boston Ballet's Nutcracker. This was Cecily's very first Nutcracker ever! At that time, Fritz and Clara opened the entire production in front of a Scrim that depicted the locked door into the the large room where the Party was about to be held. We spied in excitement through the keyhole as the audience enjoyed the "Overture Miniature," conducted energetically by the late, great, Arthur Fiedller of the world renowned Boston Pops.
The next year, Virginia had a real boy to play Fritz. His name? Kipling Houston. He went on to become a Principal Dancer with The New York City Ballet! Wow!
