While searching through Wikipedia, I noticed that the page dedicated to New York City Ballet principal, Megan Fairchild, was lacking in information about her career. The Wikipedia entry for Megan Fairchild's career was as follows:
Prior to becoming a principal dancer in 2005, she was a member of the corps de ballet in 2002 and promoted to a soloist in 2004. Her brother, Robert Fairchild is also a principal with the company.[2] She and her brother are both recipients of the Mae L. Wien Award at the School of American Ballet[3] and the only siblings to share this distinction.
Fairchild made her Broadway stage debut playing the role of Ivy Smith in the 2014 revival of On the Town,[4] which opened on October 16, 2014 at the Lyric Theatre. She received the 2015 Theatre World Award for her performance. She is currently a Teaching Fellow with the School of American Ballet.
Since one of the most discussed topics around the rosin box is casting, I thought it was necessary to update Megan Fairchild's career section with information about her repertoire with the New York City Ballet. The career section of Megan Fairchild's Wikipedia page now appears as follows:
