If you're head over heels for the ballet, we've got some good news: The New York City Ballet announced last week that they would be hosting two open dress rehearsals of Susan Stroman's Double Feature this month. The company began the open rehearsals last year with Peter Martins's Romeo + Juliet, and they hope to continue them annually.

The press release states that the final dress rehearsals "will be run by Ms. Stroman, and will include sets designed by Robin Wagner, costumes by William Ivey Long, and full orchestra." Stroman choreographed the ballet, which is an homage to the silent-film era. It comes in two acts, one described as a romantic melodrama, the other as a rousing comedy.

The rehearsals take place at the New York State Theater at Lincoln Center on the afternoons of January 30th and 31st. They will be free and (unlike last year) tickets will be available online starting Monday at 9am.
