The Washington Ballet's Nutcracker Tickets

I traveled four hours to see this performance. It was a waste of time. It started almost 30 minutes late due to "long lines outside". Whose fault is that that people cannot arrive on time? So unprofessional for this to start late and even more unprofessional that the staff don't close the doors when the performance starts. Also, I felt like everyone was going to a circus and not a Nutcracker show. They allowed food and drink into the theatre and we sat listening to people eat popcorn, cotton candy, other candy and fidget with other noise wrappers was ridiculous. Also, it seemed like they tried to pack George Washington everywhere in the show and it just came across as terribly tacky. Also, the cast was a mismatch and I thought the entire production was not organized or choreographed well and it was complete organized chaos from a logistic and artistic perspective. They tried to make this Nutcracker everything to everyone and it completely fell apart at the seams. My advice: fly to San Francisco and see a classy Nutcracker with the San Francisco Ballet. That's what I'll do from now on. This production is a total waste of time and money and I will absolutely 100% never attend it again.

Wonderful performance. The dancers were fantastic. Great venue.

This was my first time seeing The Nutcracker and it was amazing! Ticketing and entry were seamless and the show was amazing!

Based on what my 10 year old said. The dancers were great. The story line started good but then got lost in the dancing that didn’t seem to help end, or follow the story. The second act it was like they were just dancing to dance not to tell the story.

Everything was awsome myself and my wife and my wife had a wonderful time

My family and I had an amazing time at The Washington Ballet’s Nutcracker. I would have to say it’s one of the best nutcrackers I’ve ever seen, and I’ve seen quite a few.

Well done! Loved the nutcracker! Just wish it was a little less crowded.

Such a fantastic show. So gorgeous and incredibly well produced. My five and six year olds daughters thoroughly enjoy it and love dancing along. So appreciate the sweet innocence of The Nutcracker…

The Warner theater is a wonderful venue in which to watch a ballet. The Washington ballet's performance was absolutely world class. The sets were very well done and added much to the overall experience. I really appreciate the fact that they used physical background sets as opposed to some other Nutcracker interpretations which rely mainly on projected scenes. The whole experience was magical, highly recommended!

The seats were great. We could see everything and it was beautiful. The only difficult thing, was pulling our tickets from our phones because of Wi-Fi connections. Suggest putting hotspots throughout the entrance so patrons can access their tickets easier.

I love the Nutcracker and the Washington Ballet's version was amazing! Sugar Plum and Cavalier were stunning and the Clara on 12/5 (matinee) was superb!

The ballet itself was fabulous! The sets were incredible and the dancers were amazing! The show did begin late and even though it was stated that those who came after it began would be seated later, they were allowed to come in and walk in front of the audience. Also, people were yelling and cat calling during the show which was distracting. People had drinks which spilled. The show itself was fabulous but for the price of tickets I expected not to deal with so many distractions.

The event was cancelled because if technical difficulties

Very nice staff. Great performance and wonderful presentation of the Nutcracker.

The performance itself was beautiful. The we were sweating because the heat in the venue was way too much, it felt like it was 85-90 degrees inside. There were a ton of people inside not wearing masks and no one who worked there made sure that the rules were being followed so I felt unsafe.

The dancers were very professional and the sets were well done

We enjoyed the ballet, with its amazing performers, costumes and scenery. However, the Warner theater did not do enough to make us feel comfortable and safe. The ventilation in the balcony was terrible; it felt like it was about 95 degrees. The long intermission and availability of refreshments meant that many people circulated around and had to remove their masks in order to eat. Even though vaccinations and recent tests were required, new variants are highly contagious, so it would not take a lot of fresh cases to make this a super spreader event.

It was wonderful to see live theatre again, and it was truly spectacular. Our kids - 5 and 9 - were enthralled throughout. The costumes and choreography were beautiful, plus there were fun and cute parts of the show. We felt safe at the venue with required vaccinations and tests for kids who weren't yet fully vaccinated. Most people were masked inside most of the time (although because there is food and drink, not always). It was a truly a delightful experience, and a great gift at the start of the Christmas season!

The 2021 Nutcracker was out of this world! Costumes and dancing were the best.

Wonderful. Exciting evening of entertainment. The dancers were fantastic and we thoroughly enjoyed the performance.
