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

It 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

It was a fabulous experience. It was beyond fabulous so please do not miss the opportunity to see the show next year.
