The Russian Dancers were stunning and amazing. The costumes were beautiful and all was so graceful. In the variations, the abilities and strength were magnified. Comic appeal seen in the Russian variation and the doll and jester as well. Yes, some of the young children were not "professional level", but they were sweet. Many of the locals were very good. I will definitely see it again. This production is for all ages. Many children were there.

Wonderful, the dancing was lovely. The emphasis was the dance, and it had a lovely Russian flavor. I recommend it highly. We had fabulous seats.

From the moment the dancers took the stage, the whole audience was engaged. The pros were amazing! The highlight of my night though, was seeing my daughter and her friends on stage. The local children put in so much hard work and looked amazing up there dancing with all the professional dancers. This is a show you will not want to miss. If it comes to your city, you must see this show.

I agree with most of the comments that the music wasn't the best but keep in mind that the Moscow Ballet constantly travels and they have to make their show mobile.

Great performance.

this version is pretty athletic. other reviewa noted prerecorded muic. true an orchastra would add something more special. but in order to support live music you have to double the price ti pay all the musicians. keep in mind they are moving and perforiming every night. with that in mind i. think that they did a very nice job. they add humor and the dancing is a cross between ballet and acrobatics. if you are expecting new york city ballet or bolshi or royal ballet you will be disappointed. if you are open to various stylistic ballets than you will enjoy this show immensly. my favorite parts were the arabian, russian and dive of peace. i enjoyed the show very much. kids would enjoy watching the future professional dancers who are in probaby thieir first roll in a major ballet company and the dncing puppets. something for everyone.. and really this is a different version of nutcracker wih the message of peace . so it is all good .
