unusual facts about The Concert



Todd Bolender

Describing him in Jerome Robbins’ The Concert, she writes: “he was a henpecked husband who constantly escaped into daydreams of sexual conquest. Clad in a vest and long underwear and chewing on a huge cigar, he was the prototype of ... J. Walter Mitty.” Longtime New York City Ballet observer Robert Garis said of him in Agon, “his easy wit and charm in the first pas de trois seem unrecapturable” (ibid.)
