Etoile

 

When Amy Sherman Palladino puts her name on something you run to see it. She's responsible for what was IMO the GOAT tv show (The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel) so her work deserves the attention. The New York and Paris ballet companies do an exchange of talent for a season, the fiery Cheyenne goes to NYC and the star choreography goes to Paris. Perfectly cast and in typical Palladino fashion the writing is as smart as it gets. There are so many jokes you'll miss half of them. This was my first exposure into the world of professional dance and it's got my interest piqued, so I imagine this is going to bump the popularity of a dying art form.  BTW.. An Etoile is the #1 or star dancer in a ballet company. There have been some great some great shows this year, but I am going to have to give the top spot to this. I hope we get a million seasons of it. Top of the Heap.
