Joffrey Ballet: Nutcracker Tickets

A delightful performance. We found the music and the performance to be extremely well done. The lighting on stag was a bit dark at times. Otherwise a very enjoyable evening.

I see it every year, and every year it seems better then the last! What an amazing show and theater! It's a must see!

Nothing else needs to be said. Georgious dancers, enthusiastic children participation, wonderfully balanced orchestration, all contribute to making this a must to welcome in the holiday season. Furthermore, the Auditorium Theater is a magnificent venue providing excellent viewing for the audience, including children. So glad to see a number of young boys in attendence, as they were treated to expert dancers who, in their own rights, are amongst the greatest athletes they could ever hope to emulate. This is the forth year we've traveled in from Indiana to see this production of highly professional dancers and the ballet and will continue to do so as long as we are able.

The Nutcracker was an electric, explosive energy of joy and dreams. Never before did I feel, in a performance of any kind, such love from the dancers and a desire to make this the very best Nutcracker ever performed

The Joffrey Ballet put on a wonderful performance, as always! Enjoyed it!!

My daughter (age 26)and I have attended the Nutcracker since she was 3 years old. We arrived today 5 minutes late. We were directed to sit in seats from the 5th floor balcony until intermission. I must say, in all of these years, I always thought closer was better. But the view was fabulous! Although you are not able to see their faces clearly due to the distance; but if you are like us and have seen it many times, this was an amazing view of the entire stage. We were able to see the vibrant color petals lying on the stage floor from the Waltz of the Flowers. You would not be able to have seen them from the main floor. At intermission, we went to our original box seats and immediately returned to the lower balcony because the view was so much better. No obstructions up there and you are able to see the orchestra. Next time, I'll bring binoculars and it will be even more indescribably beautiful. A wonderful performance. One note, I'd like to see a fellow "sheep" herder disguise himself as a wolf during the "Marzipan" and fool the girls. It is more entertaining than just the 2 girls dancing.

We go almost every year and it's always an amazing performance. This year was no exception. We were shocked and saddened to hear that it was the last year that it will be performed in Chicago. I don't understand, as it's always a full house...

Wonderful performance by the Joffrey Ballet and the Auditorium Theater employees were very helpful and friendly.

It was so awesome, I wanted to bang my head against the wall! (In a good way)

Didn't actually see it due to the Metra train breaking down. But Ticketmaster's fees are ridiculous. Ticketmaster is absolutely despicable. They belong in jail for their extortionate fees.

Superb in every possible way. The accessibility, ambience, and acoustics of the Chicago Auditorium exceeded my hopeful expectations. The costumes and sets are beautiful and visually appealing. And the performance... breathtaking. Truly the type of performance that expands your understanding of what focused, hardworking, gifted human beings can achieve. The music and dance are woven into one entity, one beautiful and inspirational display of the very heights of human achievement that challenges perfection!

Although I have seen The Nutcracker on TV, this was my first live performance: awesome. The theater is in need of a little maintenance, but overall the venue was amazing with great old world architecture. To bad modern buildings will not withstand such tests of time. The theater was larger than I expected; however I don't believe there to be a bad seat in the house. It did tend to get a little warm in the upper sections so dress lightly or in layers.

Always beautiful! Our children, 7 and 10 years old, have seen many productions of The Nutcracker. The Joffrey's takes the cake. The production is magical. The live music is rich and familiar, which is great for kids. And, of course, the dancing is beautiful.

Definitely a must do experience. The venue was crowded in the lobby, but after sitting the room was adequate.

The show was great! Unfortunately we get there a little late so had to sit up in the late-arrival section which made it difficult to see. Once we got to our seats it was much better. The show was great!

The performance was outstanding. I was frustrated that the refreshment stands were not adequately staffed based on the attendance. Why would there not be enough attendants to serve more of those attending the performance. As it was, the lines were too long and not all guests were served. Lot of frustration!!!!

This is a classic! So much is going on and the dancers are magnificent. You could see this 10 times and see new things every time. It is hard to determine what to focus on--the whole spectacle, the musicians, specific dancers ... It is nearly overstimulating but a joy!

Magical, lovely. The performance was grand. Loved it!!!

Amazing. The music and dancers moved me.I couldn't stop smiling. This was my three daughters first ballet as well. They loved it. The only thing was, we dressed up but most people attending were in street clothes. Had imagined an event where people dressed to impress, more glamour. The building it self is a work of art. Beautiful. Can't wait for our next ballet. We are hooked.

My daughter and I searched out for the Nutcracker performance in another City this year; it is a tradition for us. We were so thrilled with the performance of the Joffrey Ballet at the Auditorium Theatre in Chicago. All the performers were exceptional and made it an exciting show... and the orchestra!!!!!!!
