The Nutcracker Tickets

The Duluth Ballet put on a great performance of the Nutcracker! I brought my 8 year old daughter, it was her first time attending a ballet and she really enjoyed herself. The four stars is because parking was horrible. We waited in line for 30+min to get into the ramp and then had to drive up and down every aisle to find an open spot. We ended up being a few minutes late which was not ideal.

So excited about attending this performance. I have wanted to take my granddaughter to see the Nutcracker since she was born. Friday night it finally happened. My daughter-in-law, granddaughter (7 years old), and myself (Grandma) had a wonderful time. The venue was beautiful! The ballet was fabulous! The best part was watching my granddaughter as she was ‘taken away’ into the magic of the dance. She was in awe! Thank you for providing us with such a delightful experience.

I came to watch the Nutcracker and this version was a terrible twist from the original version. Please leave classic shows like this alone and don't put your own twist on it. We left after the first intermission. Very disappointed.

I went to this with my daughter and friend to see the Nutcracker. This is clearly put on by a local ballet school with a few guest dancers, but it was so professional.. I'm amazed at the hours of practice that must have happened to make this such a success. The costumes were exquisite. We thoroughly enjoyed this

The theater did everything they could to make this a great experience. There were a few hiccups determining staff needs for concessions but due to the times we are living in they were all friendly and accommodating. Kudos to the lone concession guy on Saturday and the staff member that came to help him out. The show and the venue were amazing!

It was a wonderful night for me. I have always liked the history of the nuctcraker but I have never been able to see a real play, it was a beautiful evening and a unique experience for me. Since the curtain rose the colors, the music and the performance of all the actors were amazing, all the children and youngsters did a magnificent job.I loved the story of the nutcraker.

The dancers were good and overall it was a pleasant production. Very disappointed that the sugar plum fairy and the gentleman who dances with her were not live, but put on film to watch. What is that? Also the concession stand was pretty weak

It was a great affordable and relaxing environment with a wonderful show put on. The dancers were great, especially the little boy fritz acting. Wonderful experience

The performance at The Forum was great! The seats in the balcony are very close together and made it a little uncomfortable. I don’t remember the seats on the main floor being that way.

We took our seven year old granddaughter to see the Nutcracker! It’s a family tradition that we started with our daughter, and will continue with our grandchildren. The show was delightful, the seats were good, and we felt very safe during this pandemic. The staff was also very nice and helpful. We highly recommend making this show part of you holiday tradition as well!!

The cast worked fluidly, efficiently and with great festive cheer. It was a great introduction to the holiday season.

There weren't any professional dancers, just students. The "big event" was a video of professionals. If I wanted to watch professional dancers on a screen, I could have stayed home and watched for free. Even upon entering the Performing Arts Center, there were no directions of where to go, etc. Or anyone greeting/directing in the lobby. Even the program was filled with typos and grammar errors.

This year’s performance was professional across the board. Simply breathtaking. And you could tell that the artists were enjoying themselves as well. It was a joy to watch them perform. What an experience. Thank you for all of your hard work and dedication. You bring so much joy to your lucky audiences!

Great seats. Awesome show. Ballet very well done. I have hearing aids that let me switch over to where all background noise is eliminated thanks to the Forum being equipped with that technology. Bravo to all who entertained us.

I've been taking my elderly parents to this show for over a decade and this year was extra special. We got to see the show on the same day that my mom turned 90 years old! We also got to bring my sister and her daughter who have lived in California all these years and weren't able to attend. They loved it, too. The Civic is an amazing place and the BTO are a wonderful group of entertainers. I will continue to have this tradition every year as long as I can!

THE PERFORMANCE WAS OUTSTADING WE HAD A WONDERFUL TIME. MOST CERTAIN WILL BE BACK FOR MORE.

The show was great! Loved all of the dancers. It was very entertaining. Great way to kick off the holiday season.

I don't recall such a noisy crowd at the Civic Theater before this year. This is a ballet, not a comedy show or a concert, so crowd noise can be very distracting. It seems like every other person in the venue was eating some item with crinkly plastic wrap, which was loud and echoed throughout the seating area. It was constant, all over the crowd. People in front, next to, and behind us, all consuming something in noisy wrapping. I don't know if the Civic could do anything about this. People used to know better but not anymore apparently.

Starting off I would like to praise the venue. Akron Civic Theater is truly a hidden gem. It’s sad to say that in the 10+ years of living around the community this is the first time I have been to the theater. I had a friend that once there for a comedy show that told me that the theatre is one of the most beautiful around. I have been to many others and this one is hands down the most beautiful. The craftsmanship that has gone into the everything will leave you in awe. Any production would be presented perfectly here. Now for the show. Absolutely beautifully done. You can tell the cast had put so much time to make it so special for the audience. So many people involved it is so impressive to see everything just come together so beautifully. During the ballet I just was in awe with some of the many impressive performances done by the cast. So elegantly and graceful. As this time was only myself and wife, in the future as our family grows we will be in regular attendance for years to come. Such a wonderful program and hope everyone involved know how appreciative the audience and city of Akron is to have them there. Thank you again and have a happy holiday season.

Beautiful ballet dancers. Especially the mens ballet performance was just unbelievably stunning. Gorgeous costumes. Very talented young children. So much mental strength and focus and brain stimulation! The only con is that a very tall woman sat in front of me and I had a very poor view the entire night.
