Today's Installment of "Robert Fairchild and Tiler Peck are Everywhere"

September 5, 2013

It’s been a big news week for our favorite New York City Ballet couple, principals Robert Fairchild and Tiler Peck!

First, it was announced that Peck will star in Susan Stroman’s new musical, Little Dancer, next fall at Washington, D.C.’s Kennedy Center. Last year we heard that she was workshopping the title role, but we didn’t even dare to hope that she’d take it on in the finished production—girl’s got a pretty packed schedule with NYCB, after all—so we were extra excited when this press release landed in our inboxes. Peck, by the way, is a musical theater veteran: At 11 she appeared on Broadway in The Music Man, and a few months ago she performed in the New York Philharmonic’s concert performance of Carousel—as did Mr. Fairchild.

OK, that’s part one. Part two: The October issue of Vanity Fair, out today, features a dual profile of Peck and Fairchild. Written by former NYCB principal and current Vail International Dance Festival director Damian Woetzel, it describes the power couple as “the dancers of today” who “hav[e] no boundaries.” Right on. Oh, and the photographs are by super-famous photog Bruce Weber, naturally. Take a look:
