Great show, ballet itself could be better and being russian i have been spoiled with great ballet. But the music and coreography is beautiful! Go see it and take your kids!Written on Dec 04 2006

I was disappointed to realize that there was no live music, and the music that they did use was of poor quailty. You could hear a loud 'hiss' from the recording they used! If they are going to use recorded music, then it needs to be of MUCH better quality..digital. It sounded like a bad casette tape. The dancing was nice, however.Written on Dec 04 2006

More Information About The Nutcracker
Description
After receiving a rather unusual Nutcracker as a Christmas present from Uncle Drosselmeyer, Little Clara dreams that she and the Nutcracker go on a fantastic series of adventures together. After scuffling with a battalion of the Mouse King and his minions, Clara and her Nutcracker are magically transformed into a Princess and Prince and make a fairy tale journey through a snowy wonderland with dancing snowflakes. Finally arriving at the Land of Sweets, Clara dances with her Prince and four handsome cavaliers. Next morning Clara awakens with her head full of fantastic visions left from her magical trip.
