The Nutcracker

My friend Susan and I decided to take our kids to the Nutcracker this year. This was a first for the girls so we were excited. Of course everything in Vegas is more expensive because you have to pay that extra money to hold the event at the Paris hotel. I'll just say that it was pricey. The kids seemed like they had a fun time, but I was disappointed in the performance. The ballet company wasn't that great. They elimanated scenes like the big woman who has all her little children come out from under her dress--that is my favorite part too. And all the little performances were done by 1 or 2 dancers. ANd the swan queen was just too tall. It bothered both of us. I've seen Utah's company and it is amazing. I give this one a 3 which is unfortunate that I payed so much to go. But the girls had never seen it and so they had nothing to compare it to and we did all have a good time.
