Moscow Ballet’s Great Russian Nutcracker Reviews & Ratings

The seats were awful, as the venue had almost slope or seat tiering to see the stage, especially the dance movements. Some improved their situation by basically standing throughout the show along the rails, but for those who are shorter or older,...continued

Worst Nutcracker ever! Biggest problem was the venue: Don't ever go to the Wiltern for a dance event! Seating set-up must have been created by a graduate of the Helen Keller School for Theater Design! Stackable seats arranged 5-6 rows deep on...continued

It was amazing!!!

Late comers in audience moving around during show, others at times obstructed views while taking pictures of performance. The show itself was pleasant.

The dancers were incredible. The seats were good and the show was marvellous.

It was a magical evening! Beautifully done. Great fun for the whole family. It's odd that they didn't let people into the theatre until 7pm when our tickets said that's when the program was supposed to start, though.

Very good.Staff was very accommodating to my Mom. We were allowed to seat near the stage on orchestra because my Mom couldn't climb up more stairs to mezzanine.Didn't know there is no
elevator.

Dancers were good, but the skits were too simple. Seating was cramped. Parking terrible. We left early during intermission.

great show. my only issue is parking, very slow and very expensive.

I'm so sorry I wasn't able to attend. I'll think twice next time about planning too far ahead during the cold and flu season-- we were too sick to go and couldn't reschedule or get a refund.

The Wiltern folks we're AMAZING… my mother was in a wheelchair and they accommodated beautifully. THANKS WILTERN.

Very disappointing. They change the story and the music. The choreography was not very good the dancers were average and not used to the best of their ability

costuming, and music were first rate. scenery I felt they could have done a better job. Seats were exttremely uncomfortable. I paid a lot more money than most people yet my seats were in the back 1/3 of the stadium. Also Wiltern crammed as...continued

We loved the performance itself. One of the best Nutcrackers this year. We hated the theater though. They have only a few bathroom stools for women. And they didn't give us any signs, such as dimming the lights, to let us know the second half...continued

The pros: Beautiful performance with a Russian flair. The dancing was superb - with the ballerinos given as much technical choreography at the ballerinas. The costumes were beyond spectacular and the set design was lovely. Comical fantastical...continued

The line for entrance for those of us with already purchased tickets was incredibly long. It took 45 minutes to get into the theater due to the security procedures, causing the show to start 1/2 hour late. My seat was initially okay because it was...continued

I liked it a lot with the exception of the theater having only 3 stalls in the women's restroom. All the women were complaining about that. Some of us even used the men's restroom as no one was in it. The performance itself was great!

We see "The Nutcracker" every year, but we had never seen the Moscow Ballet perform it. Although this production was enjoyable, my wife and I preferred the LA Ballet version much more. Back to them next year!

Loved the event hated the venue. The show was excellent. Beautiful costumes, wonderful dancers but the chairs were awful. My back and legs are still aching. Think bar stools with no padding. I will think twice about going back to the Wiltern.

We went without expectations given mixed reviews of past performances. We were very pleasantly surprised--our tics were in the elevated back area with tables for our drinks; costumes, sets, sound, and performances were all very good!
