Enjoyed the performance with its variety theme. Awesome, gifted and talented dance artists gave a great dispay. Loved the music!
We loved it. Our kids couldn't stop talking about it.
The show was absolutely amazing!! We loved the all of the dance pieces.
STUPENDOUS! Creative dance and music. Great for all ages.
This was an awesome event! I was thrilled with how it all came together and just made everyone feel good about the Holidays! I felt so good, I wrote a check!
This event was as wholesome as it was entertaining. The pageantry and vocals transported the viewer to multiple realms. Please expand the number of shows and perhaps make a DVD to immortalize this spectacular presentation.
It was much more than I expected. My two Grandchildren and Grand-Neice talked about it all the way home. We will make it a yearly tradition. Thank you for a marvelous show.
There are not enough positive adjectives to describe our experience at the Hot Chocolate Nutcracker. It defied imagination. The children, the costumes, the adults, the singing, the comedy, the different cultures that were represented, the dreams, the DANCING, the MUSIC!!!!!! THE MAGIC OF IT ALL. Thank you Ms. Allen and all that were involved in producing this outstanding, cultural event. Our family will be talking about our experience for months to come............and we plan to attend next year with an even larger group.
Very entertaining! Costumes and dances from very various cultures. Worth every penny of the ticket price.
The play was great. There wasn't a bad seat in the theatre. All the kids in my party were glued to the stage. I can't wait for next year!!!
This production was refreshing, entertaining, and good family fun! Ms. Allen said that she will be putting on the production again next year and I will definitely go back to see it and take more friends with me!
So relaxing the performers with the beautiful music. I wish my other family members could have attend, but due to a death in the family they could not attend. I am hopefull that maybe next year they can see this wonderful performace. I loved the angel scene, it was so gentle and gliding. The male dancers have such strong legs in the scene that required them to fully expand their legs and hold for several minutes. It was a soothing, peaceful, vibrant performance. I took Marquis, my exchange student from China. He loved the performace and will see it again next year. He loved it so much that he purchased a sweatshirt. All in all I am happy have seen Debbie Allen's version of "HOT Chocolate Nutcracker. "
I absolutely loved it! It was a great way to kick off the Christmas season with my family. The way the different countries were showcased was brilliant. The performance helped me to see the value of the arts and why it's important to continue to provide our youth with opportunities such as DADA. My family & I will be back next year & we're even looking into other productions put on by DADA.
I LOVED this production. It was GREAT! The different dances and it takes you through different "country's" with different dances. I loved the China act! It waws breathtaking ! I will be seeing this next year in the front row!!!
The play was awesome!!! It was truly a blessing to see so many talented young people of color. Debbie Allen has cretaed a platform for that type of exposure and I truly commend her for that. I will definitely be attending more of her performances.
Bravo, bravo! I loved it. It was such a twist to the Nutcracker story.
Dance numbers were great, good writing and comedy. Raven Symone was super awesome!
Debbie Allen's Hot Chocolate Nutcracker was an amazing display of dance and song! What a unique take on the traditional holiday story of the Nutcracker. The talent that was on display, from the young girl who portrayed "Cara" to the Pas de Du to Candy Cane Lane to the celebration on Bourbon Street, it was all fantastic! I am soooo glad that this wonderful production will be performed again next year. What at awesome way to keep the arts alive in our community and in the lives of our young people. Keep up the good work Debbie and DADA!!
