Enchanting, Must See

See it if If you love Tchaikovsky, the music alone took me back to my childhood. If you've seen throughout the years, how it brings back memories.

Don't see it if Your new to shows/operas. You wouldn't really appreciate such a classic.

See it if you enjoy the ballet and want to see world-class dancing. You enjoy beautiful stage productions of classic tales.

Don't see it if you don't enjoy ballet and are looking for something fast-paced and modern.

See it if It was funny at times.

Don't see it if I liked the show but when we saw the Nutcracker the first act was not really dancing. They mainly just walked. was expecting more dancing.

"It’s a modest production in that there are just five players, and the set, props, and costumes are not as elaborate as you’ll find at larger shows, but it hits the right note for younger kids, keeping things simple, warm, and engaging...The show is also a great introduction to the 'Nutcracker' story for little kids...Just right for the preschool crowd and up, although I'm sure tutu-loving 2-year-olds could enjoy it even if they might not follow the story."
