Loved it. Visually stunning from start to finish. You couldn't go wrong watching this Nutcracker with the family on Christmas eve. The choreography is brisk and lively and the staging (like most Royal Ballet shows) is spectacular. Ivan Putrov is a star and somehow has learned to defy gravity and the Sugar Plum pas is unbelievable! Submitted by a reviewer (Asheville N.C.) Was This Review Helpful? YesNo
