The Seattle Times
Her Door to the Sky
Jessica Lang, one of our generation’s most celebrated choreographers, brings her talents home to PNB with our premiere of her showstopping, joy-fueled new work ZigZag. Tony Frankel of Stage and Cinema remarks “You know the way you get cheered up watching Fred and Ginger? That’s ZigZag times 10.” Set to the tunes of Tony Bennett, with one featuring Lady Gaga, you won’t want to miss this playfully jazzy Seattle debut. Paired with audience favorite Her Door to the Sky and the moving Ghost Variations, you’ll be treated to the wide array of everything Jessica Lang can do when you see ALL LANG!
It’s a work that creates a sort of celestial mood, like it’s floating on a cloud; sending the audience home quietly.
Enjoy an in-depth discussion between PNB artists, from choreographers to costume designers, before attending a dress rehearsal performance with PNB Company dancers and the PNB Orchestra. You’ll get behind-the-scenes perspectives and a sneak peek at the show.
Celebrate the close of the 25/26 Season — and the first season with Resident Choreographer Jessica Lang — with an exclusive wine tasting featuring curated selections from Browne Family Vineyard, accompanied by heavy hors d’oeuvres and inspired conversation.
Perfect for ballet fans wanting to learn more about the performance and its history, “Ballet Talks” are entertaining half-hour lectures about PNB’s current show given by dance experts. Join us an hour before your performance downstairs in the Nesholm Family Lecture Hall!
Connect with PNB Company artists in these inspiring Q&A sessions directly following your performance. “Meet the Artist” is an opportunity to discuss how the ballet you just watched impacted you and to learn the performers’ unique insights.
Join us on Saturday, June 6, 2026, for PNB Pride Night! Enjoy ALL LANG, featuring three works by PNB’s Resident Choreographer Jessica Lang: the radiant, color-drenched Her Door to the Sky, wistful Ghost Variations, and toe-tapping ZigZag featuring the music of Tony Bennett. Plus, take advantage of our lobby activations, photo ops, and more. Bring your friends, family or chosen family, and other loved ones – you can even get a shout-out from the curtain from PNB Principal dancer Lucien Postlewaite!
