We had seats in Loge 2, so, nowhere near close to the stage, and they were ~$100 apiece. I had never seen the LB Ballet perform before and I heard their annual performance of the Nutcracker was great. Parts of it WERE great -- the set design, costumes, orchestra, and solo ballerinas were fantastic. The rest of the experience was bizarre. Along with professional dancers, there were several dozen child performers. The older children were pretty talented and the younger children, being very young, were not. There were several parts of the performance that felt more like a toddlers' ballet recital than a show we paid $100/ticket to see. The crowd absolutely loved it. As Will Ferrell said in Zoolander, "I feel like I'm taking crazy pills."
