UNIQUE CARAVAN OF CHARACTERS TO CELEBRATE ABTKIDS DAY
AND NEW YORK PREMIERE OF WHIPPED CREAM
In celebration of American Ballet Theatre’s New York Premiere of Whipped Cream and
the family-friendly performance of ABTKids, characters from the ballet will board a 24-foot

“home” at Lincoln Center’s Metropolitan Opera House on Saturday, May 20, 2017.
Cupcake Children, Swirl Girls, Layer Cake Girl, Pink Yak and Chef, all characters from
ABT’s new production of Whipped Cream, will set out from the loading dock of the
Metropolitan Opera House at 9:30am for their journey up Central Park West to West 96th Street,
down Columbus Avenue and back to Lincoln Center, waving to fans and offering photo
opportunities prior to the 11:30am performance of ABTKids.
At the conclusion of ABTKids, the Whipped Cream float will ride again, traveling down
Broadway past Columbus Circle and on to Times Square.
American Ballet Theatre’s New York Premiere of Whipped Cream features choreography
by ABT Artist in Residence Alexei Ratmansky and the whimsical, pastry-themed designs of pop
surrealist Mark Ryden. Whipped Cream is performed May 22-24 and June 26-July 1.

highlights from ABT’s Spring Season. All seats for ABTKids on May 20 are priced at $25 and
