It was an amazing show! I have never been to the ballet but it was so beautiful and very relaxing and enjoyable! The dancers were amazing and very talented! Will go again!
After 18 years of traditionally attending the Nutcracker the performance we saw on December 21,2022 was the worst. The dancers were not synched, the lines were not straight. There were changes made that left us wondering what happened. Even our first time goer noticed the lines were a mess during the sugar plum fairy dance. Too many mistakes. Not an A+ performance as usual. Please put the older couple in the beginning back to doing their shenanigans before arriving to the party and during the party. That part was so entertaining. We hope to see better next year!
The performance was a memorable experience this year. The dancers were wonderful as they always are, but there was this exceptional energy and connection with the audience…wow! I left, feeling great, and in the Christmas spirit!
This will be one of our new Christmas traditions! Exceptional performance paired with the classic music of the Nutcracker we all love.
We enjoyed the production. The children enjoyed the “snow” during intermission. Cute
The presentation of the Nutcracker at the BJCC was outstanding. The dancers, costumes, set design, all were a notch above. Also the staff at the BJCC couldn’t have been nicer or more helpful. An absolute wonderful experience for my family. Can’t wait to go back again!!
The Nutcracker was so elegant. It was a great performance.
I took my girlfriend to The Nutcracker at the BJCC in Birmingham. She had never seen a performance before and didn't know what to expect. We loved it. Access was easy, the show was enchanting, everything was perfect.
My first ballet show was very enjoyable. Lots of children were in the audience which was encouraging. The performers were enthusiastic and talented. Well worth the price of admission
The performance was outstanding! Birmingham is so fortunate to have these wonderfully talented and athletic dancers in the community. I don't think there is an undesirable seat anywhere on the lower level of the Concert Hall. We were able to view the stage clearly, and thoroughly enjoyed the Sunday afternoon event.
This performance was out of this world in every way! First of all, the dancers were astounding- their talent, as well as their fitness and endurance were nothing short of amazing. Of course the music was great fun. The choreography was incredibly innovative- the mixture of ballet and current dance moves was ingenious. Lastly, the COSTUMES! Mackie never disappoints, and this performance was no exception. Wonderful, exciting creations, and the fits were impeccable. I couldn’t have been more impressed or more thankful to have such an accomplished troupe here in Birmingham. Bravo bravo!
Thoroughly enjoyed Alabama Ballet's performance of Blue Suede Shoes. It was so fun and exciting. Non-stop entertainment!
My son and I attended Saturday night performance. We thoroughly enjoyed it. Very talented group of dancers. Love love loved it!
The fastest 90 minutes in ballet. Fun,action packed show. Not your typical ballet but well worth your time and money. Loved it.
Ticket master made it easy to find seats for my event conducive to my grandmother’s needs even with an audience view available to better pick. We loved Blue Suede Shoes. It had a lot of great music and talented dancers. In my grandmama’s words, “It was fabulous!” I have to say that I agree. Thank you Ticket Master for being secure with your site and bringing ease to ticket purchasing!
Loved seeing AL Ballet dance to Ballanchine's nutcracker at the Wright Center! Dancing was so beautiful and impressive. There was a really long line for women's rest room at intermission, and the soap dispensers ran out. That was the only drawback. Everything else was amazing.
My wife and I have probably seen about 5 or 6 productions of the Nutcracker at the Wright Center. This was arguably the best. I commented to her at intermission, "Wow, the time flew during the first act." And then, after the show, we both agreed that the entire thing had flown by. We thought the baby mice were adorable (full disclosure -- we know the mom of one of the baby mice!), and the scene with the slaying of the mouse king was done especially well. All in all, a great production.
This was by far the best Nutcracker I have seen. The stage set was well decorated and the adaption was much better than some I have seen in the past.
Alabama Ballet Nutcracker performance was delightful! I have seen many versions, and this one was very well done, and my three guests were all very happy!
