Oh, but sure enough! A talented choreographer could have a field day depicting through dance how Jack slowly gets Ennis to open up, then their growing attraction, culminating in TS1, which would be a pas de deux, of course! Yeehaw! ;D

Opera or ballet, I just like the direction yer goin'. :)
One of the most memorable pas de deux I ever saw was for two men, performed to the slow movement of Mozart's Clarinet Concerto. In the age of AIDS, it was tremendously moving.

I know I used the Grin smiley, but I wasn't really kidding about the ballet. I'm not just thinking a love duet pas de deux for Ennis and Jack, either. I'm thinking that a talented and skillful choreographer could do a lot with the whole story. For example, I'm thinking of the possibility of a very powerful solo portraying Alma's confusion when she sees her husband kissing a man, and another, and potentially very moving solo portraying her sorrow as her marriage deteriorates. Lots of possibilities here! :)

Actually, it's played here (Philadelphia) already and moved on. I didn't see it. Didn't much interest me. (Never saw the movie; that didn't interest me either.)

I think some of the 'parallel' scenes in the film would be really interesting to see on the stage at the same time, like Jack and Lureen dancing at the same time as Alma is trying to convince Ennis to move to town, and Jack and Ennis are both looking toward each other, unseeing and unseen, into the empty darkness in the center of the stage.
