Pop Stars Go Classy

Apparently, Brian Wilson's ballet sucks.

For the English National Ballet's annual fundraising gala, Brian Wilson will be playing live, and two of the ENB's principal dancers will be performing a "special" choreographed dance along with...for a mere 375 pounds ($773 at a 2.06 exchange rate). The Guardian has already pre-panned the performance.

In local news, Big Boi's ballet, "Big," has already gotten rave reviews from Atlanta Magazine. "Big" opens in Atlanta in April '08, but the Atlanta Ballet's put on a short preview at the season's launch party last month. "Big" is a full-length opera, choreographed to existing and new original Big Boi/Outkast music; the Atlanta Ballet's site has more information about "Big" and a link for tickets, if you can make one of the 6 performances between April 10-13, 2008.

P.S. "Big" tickets are going for $25+.
