Nutcracker! Magical Christmas Ballet Reviews

Olga from Vancouver, British Columbia

THIS IS NOT BALLET FROM MOSCOW

This tour is organised by a US company for touring with Nutcracker only. So the name of the company is deceiving, they are NOT from Moscow. They hire ballet dancers from Russia and Ukraine who are not engaged with any theater. Hence, the quality of the dancing is aweful! There is little choreography as well. There were a couple of decent dancers but that was a far cry. Arabic dance - although entertaining - would be more appropriate for Cirque du Soleil. I wanted to leave mid- performance. Will never go again, will never recommend.

DISAPPOINTING

This was all about the dancing and not the story. No kids on stage. Clara is not watching with delight in the corner of the stage. This was about showcasing a few performers, not beautiful dancing within a beautiful story. No live orchestra. So disappointed. I certainly didn’t feel like we attended the classic Nutcracker performance I certainly hope the Fox Theater gets back to the classic that we all know and love.

THIS SHOW SHOULD BE FREE

I fell as sleep in ACT1. The only show worth watching in ACT2 is Arabian dance. Costumes were colorful. Other than that it was not WOW! I felt like watching a school performance. If you don't have your kids in this performance, this show is not for you. It did not bring Christmas spirit. No live music. Not worth it.

I WANT MY MONEY BACK!

Most expensive children’s dance recital I’ve ever endured! Even the “professionals” were a disappointment. I’ve seen many other professional companies perform this ballet, and this was definitely not worth the $85 per seat we were charged. Shame on the folks at the Fabulous Fox Theater!!

HORRIBLE, THEY SHOULD DISCLOSE THIS IS AN AMATEUR PERFORMANCE

The quality of performance is beyond disappointing for the price. These tickets should not be more than $20-30 and the description must clearly state that the ballet is performed by amateur dancers with participation of little children. False advertisement, really, this is by no means real professional ballet, more like a school play.

Absolutely Not from Dallas

ABSOLUTELY TERRIBLE

DO NOT waste your money on this show. Huge disappointment- subpar dancing, bad costuming and set design, weird, gimmicky touches. Literally got me OUT of the Christmas spirit.

WORST NUTCRACKER BALLET I’VE EVER ATTENDED

I’ve looked forward to attending this Christmas tradition for months and the Nutcracker being performed at the beautiful Fox Theatre was clearly the highlight of this holiday season…and then it wasn’t. I cannot think of one redeeming part of the evening. I wont say say it went from bad to worst because the entire production was pretty bad. Money poorly spent. I’m so disappointed..
