Awesome and Wonderful Family Show ! Will see it Every Year!
It was ok… people getting to their seats after the start was annoying ! Also people constantly talking and on their phones very rude and distracting !!!
Easy access. Great parking. Nice customer service.
we took my 4 yr old granddaughter and 5 yr old grandson. They actually made it through the whole show. Popcorn and snacks helped but the colors, music and characters were exciting even to the young ones. The adults certainly thoroughly enjoyed the show. The music was excellent. The dancing was wonderful. Lovely costumes. A very fun afternoon or evening for all. highly recommend.
The performers were exceptional. Costumes were stunning! Stage props were beautiful. However, I was disappointed with the story. It did not seem to follow the traditional nutcracker. They took out the sugarplum fairy, and she was one of the characters I was most excited to see.
The core dancers were good. A bit disjointed story telling. Having a narrator probably will help.
The show was amazing. The costumes and scenery also was amazing. The show was well worth the money. Awesome job by all
Good but preferred the local production of the Nutcracker performed by El Paso ballet theater earlier in the month
The performers were talented and gave delightful presentations in gorgeous costumes and settings…I especially enjoyed the “bear” who was cute and entertaining… and also the male who did fantastic acrobatics with the “hoop”. The music was sensational and this is the best version of Nutcracker that I have ever seen. Bravo to all and thank you for a delightful afternoon!
I didn't like it that it costs more to get a ticket through ticket Master and then you can't chose your seats. It's a guessing game as to where ticket Master decides to seat you in a section. I was not happy with the seats and also, was behind someone whose head 100% prevented me from seeing anything in the stage. I had to lean way over into the seat next to me to see even half the stage. I'm sure this made the stranger next to me really uncomfortable but I had no choice. Even then, I couldn't see more than a partial stage. Feel completely cheated of the experience and my money.
I took my niece (6yo) and daughter (4yo) to the show and we beyond loved it. The colors and backdrops were vibrant. The dancing was amazing. I loved the random funny parts too.
What a delight! The dancing was impeccable and the costumes were amazing. A very professional and impressive performance of the classic Nutcracker Ballet. if you have an opportunity to see this performance i highly recommend it.
My mom and I have been going to see the Nutcracker for about the last 10 years and it never disappoints. Every year the costumes get better and the dancing is always beautiful. It always feels like the official start of Christmas for us and is a tradition that we look forward to every year.
The costumes looked nice, the soundtrack was nice, the performers performed professionally.
My daughter bought tickets for me and my granddaughter for my Christmas present! We both had a ball! It was truly incredible!
Beautiful performance! My daughters and I loved the show.
The dancers were amazing but the show seemed lacking, the stage bare, and the Cherokee Center wasn't what I expected.
There really wasn't anything that makes want to give a raving review. The Nutcracker was alright. The costumes were the best part. To me the little kids were more of a distraction. The best thing was in Act 2 and it was the couple that were the acrobat artists. The guy in the hoop was good as well. Again costumes were the best part. The artwork for the scenes were great. I loved the Christmas tree! The birds were great! It was too warm in the auditorium as well. We did have good seats.
Took my daughters and granddaughters and we had a wonderful time. Everyone, from 8 to 64, had such a fabulous time.
This was our second year attending The Nutcracker at this location. Last year, we had no issue parking or getting a snack and a drink. There was also a fantastic merchandise selection. This year, parking was a little rough. Popcorn was burnt and there was a hair in my drink. The merchandise selection was almost nonexistent. Waiting for the show to start, we were not in a happy state of mind. The only thing saving this review is the show was spectacular. The set pieces, the costumes, and the performances were much better than last years and last year was a good show.
