Title: Suprisingly Weak Nutcracker
Review: Considering the many high rating of this production I was very disappointed and suprised to find it below average. The costumes look more like Halloween outfits and the scenery looks cheap. The worst part is the story line which is so lost that unless familiar with the Nutcracker a viewer will not understand this one. The entire last half is just disconnected dance after dance. The dancing is just OK but with no story line it is just dancing. In contrast I very highly recommend the Royal Ballet version with Miyako Yoshida and Jonathan Cope, excellant in every way that this is bad.
