Chapter Sixteen
A tour bus was waiting to pick the dancers up at the Charles de Gaulle Aéroport. On the way downtown, the driver stopped briefly outside the Théâtre de la Ville. The dancers got their first look at the graceful old building with its majestic arches, round porthole style windows, and the pinnacle with a crowning statue, perched outside the gates. It was a breath-taking facade and a fine example of the architecture of the period; the building having opened in 1862. The excitement ran through the bus as dancers crowded the windows. Jill was let off to attend a meeting with the Theater management while Chay continued downtown with the cast and crew to get them settled in their hotel.
The Theater Manager met Jill in his office and placed the box office reports in front of her.
