Each year for the past 5 years, my son and I have made it a holiday tradition to come to Symphony Hall and see the Nutcracker. This review is based on the Nutcracker presentations solely.
The show itself has been up and down over the years. This year, we agreed that the evening show on 12/11 was the best one yet. The dancers were light on their feet with very few mistakes.
The only thing that needs to change is the price and quality of concessions. I'm sorry but if I want Safeway cookies, I'll go get Safeway cookies. If I'm going to pay $3 for a cookie...it better not be a Lofthouse cookie.
All in all, it's been a great time over the past 5 years sharing the Nutcracker with my son and making Christmas memories. I'm looking forward to going back.
