[Opinions] Re: Scottish/Welsh Princess Names
Interesting that the director (or whoever made the decision) decided to change the six swans from brothers to sisters. Also, it seems odd that you'd attach names to the dancers instead of the characters. Most shows with rotating casts have various actors/dancers playing the same role.Other than that, ditto everything to Chrisell :-)~ Cait

We have two male dancers who are advanced enough to take on leading male roles so the director had to use some artistic license and change the brothers to sisters. As for the rotating cast, I have no idea why she asked me to choose 9 names and I don't see a reason for it, but that's what she asked me to do. I think she wants the dancers to choose their own names, but that doesn't make sense to me either. There are only 6 little girls dancing the roles of the sisters when they are younger, so I'm pretty sure we'll end up using only 6 names...it makes sense to me anyways.
As for the rest, it's all in the response to Chrisell's post.
