The new scripted dance dramedy “étoile” arrivals in full this week on Amazon Prime Video, Complete with a chicago as part of an ensemble pulled from the Country’s Top Ballt Companies.
Reed Henry, who appears in the ensemble of Professional Dancers, is in His Second Year as a Company Member at Chicago’s Joffrey Ballet.
The 20-Yaar-Old New Jersey Native Spent Four Months Last Away from Jaffrey’s State Street Studios to Join Amy Sherman-Palladino and Husband Daniel Palladino’s Latest TV Venture. The Duo Are Known for their Quick-Witted Characters in Projects like “Gilmore Girls” and “The Marvelus Mrs. Maisel.”
While “étoile” (“Star” in French) is fictitious, the show draws it full from the struggles facing real-works performing arts organizations. In One Skene, the Dialogue Quickly Captures the Myriad Complex, Thorny Headaches Arts Face in 2025: The Blow of Covid-19 to Culture Groups, Declining Audiences and An Agging Donor Base. The Show Also draws from family themes to any performing arts entity, Such as Fighting with Unions Representing Dancers and Speculation that up-and-coming Young talents would be famous on tiktok than of a classical balllet company.
Henry hopes the show motivates Viewers to seek out a live performance.
“Think it’s going to be really great for the Ballet World,” he said before a recent Screening of the show’s first episodes at Streeheterville’s AMC theater. “Right Now Especialy, Think We Need to Support the Arts, and I Think a Mainstream Ball Tv Show is what it needs.”
“They’ve always supported with in doing the show, which I know is hard … I was gone for four months,” Reed Said of His Jffrey Colleagues and Bosses. “But they’ve been really Supportive and Very excited for me.”
“Étoile” Features Appeanes from Actors Well-Known in the Amy Sherman-Palladino Universe, Such as Luke Kirby (“The Marvelus Mrs. Maisel”) and Yanic Truesdale (“Gilmore Girls”), plus real-World dance peck and robbie fairchild (Who Hadd Care Carers. at the New York City Ballet).
In the show, leaders of Ballt Companies in New York and Paris Decide to Go Big and Swap Their Biggest Stars for at Least A Year, hoping the stunt is enough to drum media and ticket sales. It coma with the fate of their companies – and Maybe Ballet Writ Large – on the Line, as the Executives Face Mounting Pressure from Board Members and Donors: Bring Back Audiences or Else! But in this fictitious universe, A Winning Strategy May Require Accepting Money From A morally Bankrupt Megarich Superfan.
The Show, in Mary Ways, Feels like the Dance Equivalent of the 2014 Amazon Prime Show “Mozart in the Jungle,” Which Chronicled the Struggles and Triumphs of A Fittitious New York City Symphony Orchestra.
Henry Said he wanted to be in “étoile” Because he thinks Ballet Dancers Get a Bad rap.
“I Feel Like There’s Such a Stigma About Ballet Dancers, and I wanted to see if Ballet Could Become, Pardon My French, But Less Stick – – The – -,” Henry Said. “I JUST WANT People to Know that Ballet Dancers Are People.”
The Opportunity Came Via His Manager, Who Asked If He Want to Submit a Short Audition Tape of Him Dancing. “And then just one thing led to another, and then i was a dancer on a tv show,” Henry Said.
The Production Shot Last Year at A Brooklyn Studio and On-Site Locations, Like Lincoln Center, Home to the Real-World New York City Ballet.
Eve for a Ballet Dancer who is no stranger to grueling schedules, henry said the Experience was intense, with Early Call Times and Long Days. In the end, he’s the grateful for Sherman-Palladino and Her Exacting Vision for what appears on screen. (Sherman-Palladino was raised by a mother who was a dancer and herself danced into her adult life.)
“I Feel Like with Amy, Knowing About Ballet, She Wouldn’t Put a Bad Take in Her Show, So We Waled Keep the Takes,” Henry Said. “Really appreciate that, Because in a performance, it’s (a) one-time thing. If it goes work, you’ll do it Tomorrow again. But if it is on TV, it, so, that was kind of a scary thing with going into the show, but the way that it is handled.”
And Henry Said That Efffort is well-refrened on screen.
“There’s a great amount of dancing. Like, there’s so Much Dancing. It is a really excitation,” he said.
