The Nutcracker Tickets

Great time at the ballet. Started a little late however was well worth the experience. Suggestion read up on the story line before seeing it.

I didn’t realize that this particular performance of The Nutcracker would be a dance recital with local up and coming dancers including teenagers and young children Although the performance was good, I would have preferred to have attended the ballet performed by the professional dancers

A Cajun spin on a classic. Beautiful choreography and costumes. The special effects and orchestra made the play spectacular.

It was everything we hoped for. I was a little nervous about the changes to previous seasons which I will always be fond of but this season was wonderful in every way. Well done Ballet Memphis and Memphis Symphony! Fantastic.

Was a wonderful play and buying tickets was so easy

After seeing many Nutcracker productions over the past 12 years, I will have to say this was the most fun and entertaining. It had little things that could have detracted from the enjoyment but because it was so engaging those things are easily overlooked. The first act contained some very entertaining choreography that made me laugh and I found myself dancing in my seat. Additionally, there was some fresh interpretation of the traditional story that included developing the plot over much of the first act. This production also included some fine acting as well as fine ballet. The orchestra provided exceptional support to the dancers, the plot, and must have made Tchaikovsky proud. My one regret is I did not get tickets to see it more than once since it had a limited run. Ballet Virginia with Symphonicity should be very proud of what they accomplished with their Nutcracker production.

I hadn’t seen the Nutcracker in years, and this performance may be what keeps me coming back in future years. Very well done, and the skill of the dancers was amazing, Two thumbs up for sure!

It was very nice experience to attend to this show. Dancers were exceptional! The only down part was that the show started one hour late.

It was an amazing show the dancers were awesome very good in their craft I would see it again

Delightful production. The marketplace setting had impeccable detail and was fun to watch. The pyrotechnics were a nice touch as well. Extra commendation to the dance team (Caramel?) that had the dancers connected (and performing) using some form of cloth wrap between them.

I’ve been on the front row for the Memphis Ballet’s Nutcracker for the past 15 years. Always amazing. This year we got an update with new costumes and sets that are Memphis themed. I was apprehensive going in, but loved the home style treatment that only added to what I love. Great Job Memphis Ballet and MSO too.

I have seen the Nutcracker multiple times, but this was my favorite experience!

Every year we see San Diego Ballet’s Nutcracker and they never disappoint. Once again the whole family was thrilled with the talent, costumes and experience.

Are all performers local. I bet 75 percent were parents. They were yelling and screaming when their kid came on. I know they are proud but they aren’t at a baseball game

We really enjoyed the show. The choreography was very good, and the dancers were excellent. In the future, I will try not to buy tickets for seats in the upper balcony of the Orpheum. The seats were less than comfortable. It felt like the seats were sized for either midgets or 10-year-old children. Aside from that, my husband and I still enjoyed the show.

Ballet Memphis had all new backdrops and costumes this year. Wonderful! I thought it was a lot more fun and entertaining.

A wonderful way to experience the ballet during the holiday season.

My niece (9 years old) an my daughter (7) really loves the performance

I have attended more performances of The Nutcracker than the average person, having two daughters who danced, one professionally. I have seen many renditions in Memphis, plus North Carolina School of Ballet, NYC Ballet, San Francisco Ballet, and Louisville Ballet interpretations, going all the way back to 1977, and in my opinion this is one of the best ever! It's fresh and exciting, but retains tradition along with the excitement. Kudos to the Choreographer, and the brilliant costumer and set designer. I loved every minute of it, and us oldsters don't usually tolerate change well! I can't wait for next year's production!

I’ve been taking my daughter for the last 7 years. This year, while the storyline didn’t change, the setting was updated, which held her interest. The costumes and scenery were beyond gorgeous, and the dancers performed the classic dances in new and unexpected ways. We enjoyed every minute and would have gone again same day in a heartbeat.
