    This year's performance was fantastic!

    by Bailey on 12/22/19Wright Center Samford University - Birmingham

    Enjoyed this year's performance more than any other. The Sugar Plum Fairy and her male dance partner (he was awesome!) were wonderfully talented performers.

    Couldn't have been better - the performance gets better every year! Clara was a total delight, as well, as was her prince! We are indeed honored to have our ballet troupe. Your skills are amazing. Thank you for all your efforts!

    I have seen several different nutcrackers this year but this has been the best. The costumes, sets, and the preformances were top notch. Would recommend to everyone!!

    The tickets for the Nutcracker were an early Christmas surprise for 2 grandchildren. Everything was wonderful - the performance, seats & we made a precious new memory

    Nutcracker Review

    by Bax on 1/6/19Wright Center Samford University - Birmingham

    Really good performance! Direction/choreography excellent. Was happy/reassured at big audience turnout. I'm a long-time CLASSICAL ballet fan (have to laugh at those modern dancers, the males lunging about, the females skipping/flinging around, "expressing themselves"!) But I lament the dwindling number of males in class and productions. Good luck in the future!

    Very good performance.

    by tidelyterry on 12/26/18Wright Center Samford University - Birmingham

    I purchased 8 center section orchestra level seats for my three granddaughters and other family members. Everyone really enjoyed it. It had been several years since we had attended a performance. The dancing, sets, and, costumes were all very good.

    1st Ballet Experience

    by Roz on 12/26/18Wright Center Samford University - Birmingham

    I thought the ballet was beautiful! The dancers were very good and very professional. The costumes were very nice, fits were accurate. I would definitely enjoy seeing the Alabama Ballet perform in a different production. “GREAT SHOW”!!

    Great performance! Really enjoyed it but I think I had the tallest person in the entire place sitting in front of me which made it difficult to see.

    great venue, noisy babies

    by ballet nut-cracked on 12/19/18Wright Center Samford University - Birmingham

    The Wright center at Samford is a wonderful venue for this Alabama Ballet production of GB's The Nutcracker Ballet. I wish there were age restrictions on how old a 'patron' needs to be to attend. If a baby is not able to sit in a seat and see the performance, i.e. doesn't require a ticket because they can't sit still, needs to be held because the seats would fold up under them, certainly age two and under, they are TOO YOUNG to be there and are disruptive to the performance. They, and their parents and care-givers jostling them around, from seat to seat, sitting them up on the armrest between seats, blocking the view of those behind them who are trying to enjoy the performance, crying out, yelling...in other words, acting their age, which is totally acceptable under other circumstances, but TOTALLY NOT ACCEPTABLE in this setting, then they should not be admitted to the performance. If a patron can afford the most expensive tickets, appx. $65 each, then that patron should be able to afford childcare in their home or otherwise. If not, then don't come. Sometimes one has to miss things because of children. It's life. Grow up and take proper care of your children. It is so unfair to the performers and to the rest of the audience. Be respectful or stay home with your infants.

    Great performance!

    by Sue on 12/18/18Wright Center Samford University - Birmingham

    My only problem was in ordering tickets, it did not seem to give me a choice other than "best seats". I may have preferred some other seats.
