I took my 3 year old grandaughter for her first time ever to see this performance of the Nutcracker...and she was so taken by it and so inspired that we now have her in ballet dance school and she loves it....she is very smart and so attentive to everything around her...she caught on to the play very quickly and talked about it for weeks...and still to now she wants to hear the Nutcracker music...which I must add that the orchestra was just so amazing. We now have to be going quite often to the ballet for what this wonderful Nutcracker Ballet has done ....transformed a 3 year old into a ballet dancer....

You cannot beat the Gwinnett facilities for a venue. The ballet was well done and seats were good. A good, cheaper alternative compared to the Atlanta Ballet's version at The Fox. However, there really is no comparison. The Atlanta Ballet's version is magical.

For the price it was a good show. We took children who loved it. The Rats were the best part :) The Girl who played Clara was very good.

I had seen a production of the Nutcracker at the Fox a couple of years ago, and I actually enjoyed this one more. The intimate setting is a plus. As for the production itself, it is more kid-friendly, with some neat magic acts in the opening scenes (the party), and a more lighthearted performance by the Rat King and the other rats than I've seen in the past.
The orchestra performed flawlessly and, though small, the dynamics of their playing were very well-executed, and the additional choral element was nicely done. Lighting and sets were good, although the use and placement of the scrim in the opening scene left me a little confused, hoping the rest of the production wouldn't be like that. It certainly improved greatly from there, and I'd recommend it to anyone!

Not near as good as last year. The magician was replaced by a different guy who was not near as good as the original guy. His tricks and presentation was just not up to the magical experience expected. In addition. there was a lack of male dancers it seemed so a lot less lifts and dance moves requiring a pair to execute. There were some exceptional dancers that made the program still a good value and experience for all. There was one boy that really stood out that did excellent jumps and was just incredible. There were great moments throughout the program but lacked the professional feel of previous years.

While a fairly unprofessional performance, it was not nearly as expensive as the more professional performances. The costumes were incredible and the idea of a guest Mother Ginger is great!

My daughter has been in ballet for a year now and I thought this would be good for her to see. She loved it. I also thought it was very well done. I just think that I was looking for a more professional performance like could be seen at the Fox.

Favorite moment: Sheherazade dance scene @

The Saturday matinee was, as expected, packed with entire families in attendance. The performers were, in general, quite good. The orchestra was outstanding - especially considering they were performing in a county Performing Arts Center and not a concert hall in a major metropolitan city. Unfortunately, many families in attendance decided to bring children who could not, or would not behave. The child sitting next to my wife played with a video game and talked during the entire performance. These families, presumably to encourage their favorite performers, applauded at inappropriate times during the performance. There was no announcement by the venue to shut off electronic devices, and there was no enforcement by the staff against videotaping the prerformance, so I had the pleasure of having a video monitoring screen from the recording device in use by the woman in front of me shining in my face at various times during the performance. The behavior of the audience really detracted from my enjoyment of the performance.

My husband and I took our two girls, age 6 and 4 to this performance, their first ballet experience. It was very kid friendly but I wasn't,t expecting it to be as mature and pleasing for adults too. Wonderful sets, costumes, and of course, really top calibre dancing! I was amazed most of the cast was high school age or younger, they were very talented ballerinas, with a few professionals as support cast. We had great seats, 5 th row, which we couldn't,t have afforded at the Fox ( Atlanta ballet) by any means. A extra treat was to meet some of the dancers in the lobby after the performance. My girls were mesmerized the entire time, seeing the joy and delight their faces was priceless! Thank you, Gwinnett ballet!

My daughter and I went to the Dec 2nd show. Last year we saw the Nutcracker at the Fabulous Fox, so I was expecting much less than what I got. Whereas the show was not the same caliber as the Fox, it was every bit as enjoyable. Actually, in many ways, we liked it more. The performers were MAGNIFICENT. The theatre is intimate, and there are no bad seats. Overall, this was a great show, and I would definitely recommend it. It is a totally different experience than the Fox, but every bit as wonderful! Go see it. You won't be sorry!

We wanted to begin a holiday family tradition with our little girls. This fit the bill, affordable and amazing for the whole family. My girls are 4 and 6 - couldn't keep their eyes off the stage! All the company dancers are so incredibly talented! The dancing is fantastic, felt like I was at a Broadway production! Stage sets, design, details, costumes, orchestra music - everything was absolute perfection. We will go back year after year. Don't forget to browse the goodies for sale - nutcrackers and ballerinas!

The good: the sets were quite lovely, the magic tricks amazing, the costumes very nice, the orchestra wonderful.
The bad: this was a production by young ballet students, along with a couple of professional dancers. The majority of the participants in this production were children, which I found disturbing, as the less developed among them were very much off-beat and out of sync with the music and one another.. I suppose The Nutcracker must a couple of children, but I came expecting top-rate, spectacular ballet from primarily professional adult dancers. Perhaps my expectations were askew because I was unfamiliar with what the Gwinnett Ballet actually is, which would be my fault. At any rate, the performance, while very good overall, was not the professional production I expected to see for the price of the tickets I purchased.

A friend of ours at work recommended we see this because her daughter was in the production. My wife and I were expecting a cute high school quality type production and went with reserved expectations. What a shock! The production was EXCELLENT. Live orchestra, exceptionally talented dancers (especially those featured in the Second Act), and a beautiful stage. We will definitely come next year! The performers met with the audience after the show in the lobby and signed autographs. They look bigger and older on stage! Amazing talent and poise from local middle school and high school girls!
