...SUPPORTING CAST, on the other hand, is almost uniformly excellent. Eric Elice is very funny, and letter-perfect, as the affected fashion photographer Carbone; he prances through his part like a Middle European cockatoo. Kenneth Ryan excels himself as Alan B.

During rehearsals for her final student appearance in Swan Lake last May, she had a hip injury, but danced "full out" the whole time. Says a friend: "She covered the pain for two hours every afternoon. It was sheer determination." Says Irina Kosmovska, who began teaching Darci in California when she was eleven: "Darci was a fountain of energy. She tried everything. She was one of my most intense students-she would commit suicide on the floor...
