On the inner edge of Listability, but no worse for that. Justin Peck setting Nico Muhly seems right for here. Tiler Peck (no relation) is a technically spectacular dancer — Fitzgerald to Sara Mearns’s Holiday, Sutherland to Sara Mearns’s Callas — but you wonder what kind of choreographer she’ll be; setting Poulenc is one sure way to This List’s heart, though. Alexei Ratmansky’s Odesa is definitely not the kind of thing we List here (as much as we enjoy Ratmansky’s work in our personal capacity) — but Jewish gangsters in Odessa is a theme we can certainly get behind (wish the gang rape were presented more critically, though; Ratmansky’s done better in other pieces).

MAKE A NIGHT OF IT: Seems like a good night for Bar Boulud.
