The performance, itself, was wonderful. The dancers were terrific and I was really impressed that some of the dancers, despite not being more than possibly 5 years old, were so talented.Written on Dec 16 2007
Now for the downside...the organization was unacceptable. This started from picking up tickets from Will Call, as there was a very long line and only one window open for both Will Call and tickets to be purchased. I did not make it into the theatre until 8:15pm, 15 minutes after the play was scheduled to start and there were plenty of antsy people behind me.
The play did not even start until about 8:50pm, nearly an hour behind schedule. Then for the first 5 minutes of the play, the floodlights (that allowed people to find their seats) in the theatre remained on before someone finally thought to turn them off.
The first act concluded within about 30 minutes and the 15 minute intermission became more like 30 minutes.
During the second act, someone thought it would be a good idea to turn on the air conditioning to freeze not only the patrons but the dancers, as well.
I have been to the Ricardo Montalban Theatre before to see "Zorro In Hell" and that production went flawlessly, so I will fault the production itself for El Cascanueces rather than the theatre, itself. It is a shame that such wonderful performances by the dancers were overshadowed by horrible organization.
