Title: Best ever Nutcracker
Review: A role that Gelsey Kirkland was born to dance, she can look twelve in one scene, and then when magically whisked away with her prince, she looks 21. I much prefer this version because you actually get more dancing. I am bored with the Balanchine version; quite frankly, if your child isn't in it, it is not interesting from a ballet perspective. I just saw the production in NY, and had to rush home to see the Baryshnikov one because I was not satisfied. Alas, my laser disc is no longer functional. Why wasn't this re-mastered for DVD? It should be a classic. For the person who couldn't take the "Oedipal" conflict, you can easily view his (Drosselmeyer's) role as merely summoning Clara back to reality and wakefulness. Your child won't know to ask.
