Lleyton Ho, a member of the San Francisco Ballet, portrayed a frantic university student in the ballet adaptation of Frankenstein. He balanced his time between studying economics at Stanford University and performing ballet. Ho's dual commitments led to intense schedules, often sacrificing sleep and social life. He drawn from personal experiences of feeling overwhelmed in academia to add authenticity to his on-stage performance, reflecting the challenges faced during his years of concentrated study while dancing professionally.
"I had been that overwhelmed undergraduate in real life, trying to keep up with demanding economics classes at Stanford University, while simultaneously dancing during a 46-week season as a member of San Francisco's corps de ballet."
"That's really kind of funny for me to have to do that on stage, because there were definitely a few times where I left a lecture, and I was like, Oh God, I don't even know what just happened."
