Title: Brilliant! Sheer genius.
Review: Yes, this is a retelling of the Nutcracker in a modern setting. But its real genius is Mark Morris' brilliant choreography. He has crafted a ballet that simultaneously pokes gentle fun at the traditional while far surpassing it in its humor and inventiveness. His Dance of the Snowflakes for instance is a sparkling gem that makes Balanchine look like a piker. If you don't like the costumes or the party scene or men in dresses, forget that stuff - just watch the gorgeous dances as they unfold one after another, sensuous, lyrical and flowing, reminiscent of Paul Taylor at his best. And there are wicked little sight gags in nearly every scene that provide the icing on the cake.The Hard Nut is not just a satire on the Nutcracker - it is a true work of art in its own right. If you're just a bit bored with the Nutcracker after having seen it 1000 times, you'll love the Hard Nut. And if guys in tutus offend you, well there's always the Disney Channel.
