... that in 2016, on the 10th anniversary of the ballet Chroma, The Royal Ballet performed the piece with five dancers from Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater? Source: "Yet it’s typical of the spirit he’s brought to the job that this revival of Chroma comes with an inquisitive twist: a cast that combines the Royal’s own dancers with five members of the Alvin Ailey company." ([1])
- ALT1:... that part of the 2006 ballet Chroma is set to music by American rock band The White Stripes, arranged by Joby Talbot? Source: "Advance reports made a fuss over McGregor's Chroma, which was to feature three songs by the White Stripes. In fact, it is Joby Talbot's orchestration of these songs, along with his own music, that has the audience pinned to their seats." ([2])

5x expanded by Corachow (talk). Self-nominated at 18:43, 18 June 2020 (UTC).[reply]

Five times expanded, well cited, neutral, Earwig is happy, and both hooks can be verified from RS, but just for clarity I have taken the liberty of changing “alongside” to “with“, it seemed to be suggesting a separate production. No QPQ, do you have an exemption from doing a review, Corachow? Moonraker (talk) 16:23, 27 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Moonraker, this is my third nomination, so I believe I don't have to do a QPQ. Corachow (talk) 16:30, 27 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

That’s fine, then, Corachow, ready to go. Moonraker (talk) 16:36, 27 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
