I can’t imagine why underpants should be headline-worthy! Not like the early 1970s when the Nederlands Dans Theater brought the first nude ballet to London’s Sadler’s Wells. At the performance I attended the curtains closed and the show had to be stopped after a few minutes. Eventually an official came out front to announce that someone had thrown itching powder from the balcony, and the stage – and presumably the dancers – had to be cleaned. The entire short production was hardly noteworthy. I admit, though, that Sir Robert Helpmann’s comment did come to mind: “The problem with dancing in the nude is that not everything stops when the music does!”
