Miranda Weese
... that in 1999, ballerina Miranda Weese performed the lead role in a televised performance of Swan Lake under an hour's notice, with a partner she had never rehearsed with?Source: "Miranda Weese stepped into the lead role in 'Swan Lake' on an hour's notice on Wednesday night in a PBS 'Live From Lincoln Center' broadcast of Peter Martins's new production for the New York City Ballet... Ms. Weese was Ms. Kistler's standby, although she had never rehearsed the role with Damian Woetzel, her partner in the performance." ([1])

Interesting life, on fine sources, no copyvio obvious. I approve the hook, but don't believe that we need the "1999" bit. - In the article, please check "retire" in two consecutive sentences. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 21:59, 14 March 2021 (UTC)
- Thanks for the review. A hook without the "1999" bit: ALT0a: ... that ballerina Miranda Weese performed the lead role in a televised performance of Swan Lake under an hour's notice, with a partner she had never rehearsed with?
- I had also rephrased one of the sentences so only one sentence used the word "retire." Corachow (talk) 22:05, 14 March 2021 (UTC)
