The Nutcracker: South Bay Ballet’s Holiday Favorite Reviews & Ratings
I attended the South Bay Ballet's Nutcracker with my friend Eve G. We both have a dance background, albeit much more in ethnic dances and our own brand of 'dance drama' at this time...I have to say that the set transitions worked very smoothly as...continued
reviewed Dec 16 2017 report as inappropriateIt was good. I've seen the Nutcracker for a number of years at El Camino and was glad to be able to see it this time around. However, several things were changed in the story line and I came away with not being able to follow along. The...continued
reviewed Dec 22 2013 report as inappropriateIt was a fabulous experience. It was beyond fabulous so please do not miss the opportunity to see the show next year.
reviewed Dec 20 2014 report as inappropriateI was very disappointed that there was no live orchestra. In past years this ballet company has used a real orchestra. I don't go to live performances to hear canned music.
reviewed Dec 21 2014 report as inappropriateThe Nutcracker was amazing. The dancers were in sync and the costumes were awesome! It was great! Looking forward to next year's show.

reviewed Dec 20 2015 report as inappropriateI thought the choreography was breathtaking. An outstanding performance. Thoroughly enjoyed the entire experience.
reviewed Dec 15 2018 report as inappropriateIt wasn't bad. It was their own interpretation of the nutcracker. It was cute. But not bad. Went mostly to take my niece to see her first ballet performance. Which was the main reason I got the tickets. They did a good job performing.
reviewed Dec 22 2013 report as inappropriateThe El Cerrito College venue was easy to find and the staff on site helpful in guiding me to closest parking to the Marsee Auditorium. This version of the Nutcracker had wonderful scenery. It was especially impressive in the first act--changing...continued
reviewed Dec 21 2014 report as inappropriateThis is an excellent performance, and especially delightful for a 3 year old's first attendance at a ballet. She adored it! she even shushed a couple children who were whispering, seated fairly close to us. I'm so glad to have had the...continued
