will play the part on Saturday. The rest of the lineup for the final weekend of the ballet is being finalized.
Mother Ginger's costume is more like a small parade float than an article of clothing. Those who play the part don't so much wear it as they ride it, standing atop a small platform that they reach via stepladder. The young acrobats climb in just before the character is wheeled onstage. The performers-for-a-day are told to have fun onstage -- to flirt with the Nutcracker Prince, to wave and blow kisses to the audience and beam with pride as the little acrobats surge onstage.
