    “Call it the summer of dance creativity. The big production will come in midsummer with Twyla Tharp teaming up with film composer Danny Elfman in “Rabbits and Rouge,” a new American Ballet Theatre piece at the Orange County Performing Artscenter. Tharp had a Broadway hit when she teamed with Billy Joel for “Movin’ Out.” Lightning may strike again (ocpac.org; Aug. 6-10).”

    Hopefully we won’t have to wait eons for a CD release of this work. I’m ecstatic about this project.

    Oh, and it looks like the title is actually “Rabbit and Rogue.”

    I live in the OC! Perhaps I’ll go see this despite my complete disinterest in ballet. It would pretty much be sitting and enjoying a brand new Elfman concert piece, so I’m down for it.

    Well, I don’t care about watching the ballet. But I certainly care about hearing it. Some of Elfman’s best music is balletic.
