Title: A huge disappointment
Review: THE HARD NUT's reputation preceded its arrival in my DVD collection, an apparently iconic production that supposedly changed the way we view THE NUTCRACKER. What a disappoinment! It fails to pass muster in every conceivable way: I found it to be void of wit, grace and invention; the "humour" is laboured and unfunny; and what may have seemed like a nice idea emerges, in the event, as heavy-handed, vulgar and, worst of all, poorly danced and boring. If you want a re-invented NUTCRACKER, try Matthew Bourne's. And there is nothing wrong with the tried-and-tested: Balanchine's for NYCB, Baryshnikov's for ABT, or Peter Wright's for The Royal Ballet still stand the test of time. Mr Morris' ballet, on the other hand, is more The Emperor's New Clothes than THE NUTCRACKER redefined.
