The Nutcracker Robinsonville reviews
Enjoyable but...
Although I enjoyed this version of the Nutcracker, there were several things that did disappoint. The sets were beautifully made except for the tree; that was a disaster! As a child, I vividly remember the suspension of disbelief as the tree grew toward amazing heights. This tree swayed like a puppet in a strong breeze. It grew only marginally- looking like it fell apart at the bottom. Very disappointing. The professional dancer who danced the part of Marie had great difficulty with her turns and her partner struggled to keep her upright; not just once or twice but every pas de deux. With the price of the tickets, I expect more of the featured dancers. And why was Marie the Sugar Plum Fairy?? Please stay true to the story. The corps performed well and the choir was a nice touch. I will attend in the future but hope that it will improve each year.
