I got the chance to see the Nutcracker over the holidays at Blumenthal. It was my first time there and I had a good time. There is a lot of open space in the lobby with a little bar to the left of the ticket windows. The center is very clean and they have some cool nordic looking wall paper in a strange minty green blue color. A lot of shows and plays seem to come through here. Garage parking is validated in the lobby, so don't pay to park in a lot beforehand! On the bottom level the water fountains are hidden in a corner but they are there!
