Absolutely, unequivocally, a great show and product. As an effect of a "Soulful Twist," an entirely new feel was brought to this classic Christmas Ballerina tale. All of the participants were marvelous and graceful - the children of all ages, the more experienced performers to the professionals. Colorful customs, back-drops and transitions were glib served to further enhance the entertainment value and enjoyment of the show.
Last night i went to the Chocolate Nutcracker. I was beyond disappointed. Traumatized even. i was told it was a wonderful "ethnic" version of THE Nutcracker so I went in there expecting to be wowed. What I got was a bunch of kids jumping around on stage through made up places like "gospel-land and funk-land". To be fair I gave it a 2 because these kids worked hard for the last 7-9 months practicing and rehearsing for this show. I fault the adults and the promoters for this guffaw. Tell the truth and I am sure people will still see it. Just without being traumatized and extremely disappointed. This is children's community theater doing the annual holiday show. It is by no means a multicultural version of the Nutcracker.
