Nutcracker was Disappointing
by YKDI on 12/15/10Fred Kavli Theatre-Thousand Oaks Civic Arts - Thousand OaksI've been to so many Nutcracker performances, I've lost count. I was diappointed in this performance. It seemed choppy and was not fluid from one scene to the other. Also the story line was completely different from those I've seen in the past. The stage backdrops were uninspiring. I like the fantasy of the Sugar Plum Fairy dancing on an icy pond with a backdrop of snow covered trees that shimmer. There was no fantasy in this performance no magic no "aaah" moment.
