“The set and scenic designs were eye catching. They reminded me a bit of the Stowell Sendak version (which is a good thing) but they were also very much their own unique designs. I loved the use of the doors, fireplace, and closets as entrances and exits for the dancers.    …One thing that immediately stood out to me was the choreography and movement of the young dancers.

The ballerina and nutcracker “dolls” were also a very nice touch.”  Read more
