    Chocolate Nutcracker is worth every penny!!

    by HCH63 on 12/31/12Times Union Ctr Perf Arts Moran Theater - Jacksonville

    The Chocolate Nutcracker is an underrated event that has all elements of music and dance. Not anyone would be dissatisfied with this show. What is more incredible is the fact that the performers are very young from elementary to high school and maybe a few college students. I recommend this show for all ages and all cultural backgrounds since there is something for everyone. The Afro-Caribbean flavor is so done very well for the Nutcracker. Congrats to the director and choreographers.

    This was truly a wonderful opportunity for children of all ages, particularly African Americans. Thank you Jacksonville for your overwhelming support.

    It could have been better.

    by Anonymous on 12/31/12Times Union Ctr Perf Arts Moran Theater - Jacksonville

    Being a dancer myself I found it to be over all okay, yet sloppy execution in certain parts. this was an excellent opportunity you to take culture and as a spin off from the original Nutcracker blow it out of the water. I don't feel that it was done well. They had some good interesting parts. Yet transitioning from one segment to they other was obvious even to an amateur eye. Not sure if it was fatigue that reared it's ugly head but something was definitely not right. And not sure if I was they only one who realized that they nutcracker mask was white. I thought that was a little off.

    Chocolate nutcracker was better than expected

    by hwrolle on 12/31/12Times Union Ctr Perf Arts Moran Theater - Jacksonville

    I have seen the original nutcracker and while it was an interesting story on various levels, I could only sit through it once; however the chocolate nutcracker held our families attention (including the children) and it was vibrant and exciting. I especially enjoyed seeing some familiar local faces. I would definitely see this again.

    Chocolate nutcracker

    by Meka1974 on 12/31/12Times Union Ctr Perf Arts Moran Theater - Jacksonville

    The show was great but the ushers constantly brought people in throughout the show and they were standing in front of my 4 yr old and she couldn't see the show.

    Chocolate Nutcracker was Astounding!

    by Tmint on 1/3/12The Mahaffey - St Petersburg

    If you enjoy musicals this is a must see; if you don't enjoy musicals this is a must see. The talent displayed in this production was simply amazing. Everyone behind the scenes, as well as, the onstage performers accomplished such a remarkable feat. I will see this next year and I truly recommend this event for all to see and enjoy; you will!

    First time seeing Chocolate Nutcracker

    by jsgirls06 on 12/30/11The Mahaffey - St Petersburg

    I took my middle school daughter to see this play, it was the first time for both of us. I was surprised that majority of the characters were children! These kids are fantastic dancers! The play was very beautiful with the same basis of the traditional Nutcracker but with a great twist on different African American elements. I will definitely come back next year!

    This was a fun show. It felt like community theater writ large. The audience was very supportive of the cast, who put lots of energy into their performances, even though they were not always technically precise. Unfortunately, the sound system functioned below the level of high school or community productions, and was barely audible at times. The lighting also was unfortunate at times--when performers stepped down from the main stage to really connect with the audience or be highlighted, they were hard to see until the person running the lights caught on. This improved as the show went on. But technical glitches did slow this performance down. It was a real celebration, and fun to see.

    The Chocolate Nutcracker was Exciting

    by Beniboy on 12/21/11The Mahaffey - St Petersburg

    This was my first time to experience The Chocolate Nutcracker. I would highly reccommend seeing this presentation if you haven't yet. It was a Lively, Exciting & Varied Musical Performance by some very talented young people. Well worth the time and money.

    This is the first year my family has seen The Chocolate Nutcracker and I must say it was a memorable experience. From the choreography to the skilled dancers, the performance was enchanting. The scenes were amazingly high-energy without a hint of fatigue. I loved it from beginning to end. It's a must-see!

    Took my 5 year old twins and my 4 year old niece. The show was awesome! The variety of dance styles kept us on our toes for what was coming next. The kids won't stop dancing, and talking about the show. We are excited for next year!!

    Not a Fan

    by Stop1 on 12/19/11The Mahaffey - St Petersburg

    It wasn’t what I aspect it to be. I thought it was going to be like the original version. I left after intermission. Wasn’t happy; wasted money.

    Chocolate Nutcracker a huge hit.

    by Joe33715 on 12/19/11The Mahaffey - St Petersburg

    My wife and I decided to go to this event at the last minute and were not disappointed. The cast did a fantastic job. The costoms, music, dancing were all first rate. Our favorite scean was Africa. At intermission we called a friend to tell them that this was a must see event. Unfortunately, there was only one more show and they had a conflict.

    If you want culture, get in the holiday spirit, watch some really talented young adults (and some older adults too) as well as watch a high energy event- this is it. We really enjoyed it and we will be back next year!
