Dance-along Nutcracker

2001-12-13 18:35:19+01 by Dan Lyke 0 comments

When I was a kid my grandparents used to take us down to Saratoga to see The Nutcracker[Wiki]. It was cute spectacle, but since then I've always seen performances of it as a bit too gimmicky, too much "let's break out everyone in the troupe", to be real art. But this might make me interested in seeing it again: a Dance-Along Nutcracker:

As Louie writes in the program, "For two hours at least, we create a world where gender, age, ethnicity, politics, sexual identity, physical appearance --

and even talent -- fail to divide us."
