Why not both?
Oh, wouldn't I love someone to do a program to something REALLY out of the box. Like a super villain.
Or a dance team to do "Springtime for Hitler" from that Mel Brooks movie. Would that count as Broadway - since it was a fictional Broadway show within a Broadway show? I say PUSH THE ENVELOPE!

Sasha Trusova just announced that she'll be portraying the character of Daenerys from Game of Thrones in her Free Program to the music Pray by Matt Bellamy. I think that the soundtrack could work well for her but I am quite concerned with how age appropriate it may be, considering that she explicitly mentioned the character Daenerys.

Booooo!
She might also want to rethink that, considering where GoT is heading...
She should have waited until the show ends. But very good taste (in music)!
Why? Is there a rule that girls should portray on the ice only "positive" characters?
Also for those expressing dubious outrage that GOT or Perfume music are not appropriate for these girls I ask you to check that 80% of the ballet and operas masterpieces from Swan Lake to La traviata, Madama Butterfly, La bohème and Turandot are really stories about men/women being murdered, girls raped or abused, about suicide or prostitution.

Yea - I was hoping I misread that. Kolyada and Chaplin? I'm having a hard time seeing that...
Who thinks these things up?
Let's take one of the most striking, powerful, dramatic skaters in the world and give him a program where he pretends to doff his bowler hat and twirl a cane.
I'm seriously rethinking my stance on the death penalty. Assemble the firing squad!
Uh, couldn’t have said it better.
As if when anyone skates to memoirs of a geisha they show selling their virginity to mr. Crab in their programs.
Obviously, mostly it’s just to portray the general vibe.
It can be a character, it can be an image inspired by the character.
It’s just a piece of music.
Oh for crying out loud, enough with Faux Girrrl Power outrage. Anything is fine - as long as it's an informed choice and intelligent portrayal, and not a misunderstanding based on cluelessness about what a character or a piece of music was actually about...
Like a Big Spender.
Huh? There’s no outrage from my side, I’m opposed to outrages about music, I’m saying that music doesn’t necessarily have to portray all those harsh nuances from the movies they are taken from, it can be a general image of an abstract character (I.e. random delicate geisha), without being dirty, because of the movie plot.
I actually don’t mind any music whatsoever
why not? maybe it could be a little bipolar doing it in a single program, but surely would be interesting and new.
i'm all for a good villain! i've been asking for it for ages now. i've always wanted a lannister program (to stay on the got theme), an evil queen, a jocker! about "Springtime for Hitler", hollywood musical still counts as musical, as long as it has a finnstep in it.
i'm praying this is not an actual twilight program
The FS music is so amazing, something very new for Alena, I'm so excited for this!
I don't mind any music whatsoever either, except when it's bad, musically.
As for subject matter, I'm a bit more nitpicky. I don't like overly trashy. Commercializing Holocaust or 9/11 is also in poor taste, IMO. Other than that, anything goes.
Apologies, if I misconstrued your agreement with someone who, in turn, misconstrued people's amusement (over Sasha's funny mistake about a character) into something more sinister.
