Ratmansky looks forward, too: his own creation, Go for Broke, features modern steps and bright yellow unitards, marking quite a departure from the traditional tutus and pink leotards of Cinderellas past.

Tutus are substituted for missing armor, a giant pretzel replaces a dragon, and the hero falls through a hole in a half-drawn floor. Ultimately Ned quits, and a desperate Lendler runs out of the letter e as his book comes...
