The Nutcracker NYC

1.00Easily the worst show I've ever been to. It has almost nothing to do the Christmas or a Nutcracker. I paid 450 dollars for 2 tickets to watch mostly amateur children dance. I could have went to my niece's dance recital and had a better experience. IT WAS SO BAD.
Unforgetable

5.00My third visit for the Nutcracker at NYC Ballet and every time it has been wonderful. Famous for its music and choreography this performance lives up to the highest praise. I would suggest that while watching this treasure you give just a little thought to the hard work the dancers put into pleasing their audience. The sweat equity if you will and the aches from practice that becomes perfection. A tribute to the dedication of all the soloists that bring such elegance to the stage.
