My favorite Nutcracker Ever!

To me, this was the most magical performance of any Nutcracker shows I've seen to date. The kids were lots of fun to watch. The toys that came to life were awe inspiring. Alina Somova is so beautiful, my favorite ballerina. The young girl playing Masha was nothing less than perfection. I loved this so much, I bought the dvd. Some of the dancers defy gravity at times. The Mariinsky theatre has some of the best ballet in the world. This would be a fun program for the whole family to watch. From the set scenery to the dancers to the musical director, the atmosphere draws you into this fantastical play. Again, best Nutcracker I've ever seen.
