Simon Russell Beale Can Dance!, Says NY Times Chief Critic

Alastair Macaulay, on the Rubenesque actor’s performance in London Assurance:
“In his first scene, he sketches a series of perfect arm movements, and then holds one of them with arched torso (port de bras cambré) as he relates how an artist drew him as Apollo. In his solo in a country dance, he leaps across the stage in a pas de chat and then bounds in several entrechats; and in the finale he does piquées arabesques and baroque pirouettes.”
