Max & Ruby Tickets

Little ones enjoyed seeing their favorite bunnies Max & Ruby live at The Oakdale; for most it was their first time in a theater. The children were introduced to the music, dance & various characters in The Nutcracker through the eyes of Max & Ruby. When it seemed the children were getting a bit restless, the tempo wouild change and there would be an interaction between Ruby & Max and the children in the audience. Although, none of the kids were humming as they exited the theater; later on our little one heard the music and started to spin around with her sister.

this show was on a tuesday afternoon at 2 pm so for the most part younger children were present and I found my 4 year old twin boys children somewhat bored. I had looked the show up online and what the trailer showed was not what the show was this year. I believe the beginnig with the different live toys was fine the ballot after ballot was a bit much. no to mention no life size nutcracker in the show. ending was good getting everyone involved singing christmas songs was good

I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the Max and Ruby show. The Nutcracker was explained in an easy to understand way, there was a nice balance between the characters and the ballet dancers, and the show was the right length to keep the interest of the young children in the audience.

There was too much ballet for the age if the children. Also they did not get the children in the audience involved until the last 10 minutes.

My rather sophisticated daughter who is 6 and a 1/2 really loved it. It is NOT an exact nutcracker rendition; the story & dance is broken into segments to make the whole thing more accessible to the 3-6 crowd. There is an intermission & they did sing Xmas songs at the end---it is currently December. For us, it was a good "introduction" & next yr, I'm doing Lincoln Center.

Max and Ruby's Nutcracker performance was excellent. It was just right for my 4 year old ballerina granddaughter. The setting was simple yet very effective. The cotumes and dancers were dazzling for her. The twists on the original story were clever. I thought the inclusion of Frosty and the gingerbread/candy cane songs and dancers came at just the right time for little ones. I would shorten the intermission to 10 minutes.

The show was great! Max and Ruby kept our daughter's attention and allowed her to have a real introduction into The Nutcracker and ballet in general. The set was simple and unobtrusive. Nothing about the show was overly fancy, but our daughter loved it. She spent the rest of the day dancing throughout our errands.

My kids loved the show. When we were leaving they asked when we were coming to see it again. It was very cute and entertaining. I would definitely come see it next year.

My daughter is four and ADORES Max & Ruby - in fact, it's the only show she watches. The live show, however, was terribly disappointing. Ballet and the Nutcracker are not made for the 3-5 year old audience, which is the focus group for the show. The kids were terribly bored, and while the costumes were cute and the singing of Christmas carols with the kids was a nice addition, there was little interaction, nothing in terms of set, and a majority of the show was ballet performances which even for adults wasn't too exciting.

My 3 year old daughter loved it and she would defintely want to see it again.

would have preffered more focus on max & ruby and less on the outside characters. show was a bit too long for a young child.

The performance was perfect for young children.I thought the story of the Nutcracker Suite was cleverly integrated with the Ruby & Max characters. The dancers were very talented and the singing was excellent. We really liked the Christmas Carol sing-a-long at the end. My only complaint is the intermission was too long for small children. It was hard to get my daughter re-engaged after intermission.

My five year old daughter loved this show. It was not a long show; perfect amount of time; approx. 1 1/2 hours with intermission; my daughter never got bored.

My 4 year old daughter loved the show! She was so excited to see them and loved watching all the ballerinas. I thought the show was extremely cute and very well put together. It wasn't too short or too long.

My son who usually does not pay too much attention to these things but he never took his eyes off the stage. He applauded for every performance even the ballet performances were great. I would recommend this to all.

Loved Max & Ruby,Storyline 'Nutcracker' bored kids

Overall I thought the show was just okay, slightly boring for a kid show: My daughter was into the show for the first 20 minutes, afterwards she was just as bored as I was:

Our 2 and 4 year old enjoyed the show until the 20 to 30 minute intermission. It was a very long intermission for the majority of kids there. After the intermission was over it was hard to keep our kids interested in the show.

My son loves Max & Ruby. He loved the story of the Nutcracker so much he was dancing in the aisle. This is truly a memory he will never forget.

We thought the show was great, the dancing, everything. There was just one glitsch. We were told the show was an hour long, and 40 minutes into the show they took a 20-30 min break so everyone could go to concession stands. The show finally restarted and was over in about 1/2 hour. So, clearly a break was not needed, especially when you have little people with you.
