This was a very entertaining production. The lobby had "Andrew Sisters" type singers and had WWII paraphernalia to set the mood. My friend and I looked at each when intermission was announced and commented that we couldn't believe Act I was over already because we were so engaged. The performers ranged in age and all were very talented. I would recommend this to everyone of all ages and theatre preferences - even those who find ballet dull would enjoy this.

What an amazing event! The artistry was inspiring, the dancing beautiful. It was a wonderfully entertaining 2 hours and so well depicted the story of Cinderella in a historical context. The Burnsville PAC is a bright, airy, lovely venue.

My granddaughter and I enjoyed the ballet very much. I have attended many performances of The Nutcracker at different venues, including the Russian Ballet, and I was very impressed by this performance. The ballerina that perform the Snow Queen was so good, she brought tears to my eyes. Excellent, Excellent. My granddaughter and I will be attending the 2013 performance and look forward to another inspiring ballet.

It was a wonderful performance. I was so impressed by the skill of the dancers. Wow. I'm so glad we were able to enjoy the tradition of the Nutcracker without having to spend a lot of money.

The Nurcracker ballet was delightful and fun to see. It was wonderful to see so much talent amongst the range in ages of performers. The mice were exceptionally cute. The costumes were beautiful and it definitely brings out the Christmas spirit. This is a performance that people of all ages would enjoy.

I absolutely loved this performance! The choreography was so beautiful and everything well put together. I usually am a little bored with the beginning but was very entertained and enjoyed the extra efforts put into the details. The dancers and costumes were lovely! The Burnsville Performing Arts Center is really a wonderful place to see a ballet as it is very intimate and I don't imagine there is a bad seat in the house. I will definitely be back next year!

This Nutcracker performance was good for bouying Christmas spirit, but as far as great ballet...not so much. I might be tainted having seen the Moscow ballet and Bolshoi ballet, but it just seemed like they had trouble finding boys/men for their parts--lots of girls and women.
The sets and costumes, although fine, could have been more. When I pay that kind of money, I guess I'm hoping to be wowed by everything--the dancing, the costumes, the sets--and I wasn't.
Like my stepdaughter said (it was her first ballet), "It was ok."
Next year, I think I'll stick to Loyce Houlton's Nutcracker ballet.

This was our 1st ever ballet. My 8 1/2 yr old daughters love the Nutcracker story, so they were over joyed with being able to see this in person. The children in the show were adorable, and the dance was amazing. And the Fairy costumes were beautiful!
I would recommend taking your children to this show if they can sit still for 2 hours. There was an intermission at mid point, but the child behind us was a little too young to understand the story & couldn't sit still, so that was a bit of a distraction for us.
Our seats at the Burnsville Performing Arts Center were in the 3rd row from the stage, & off to the left. There was only two times that the performers were out of sight, so they did a good job keeping it where everyone could see what was going on. This was also our 1st time at the Burnsville Performing Arts Center. I was pleased at how easy it was to access, how close and easy the free parking was, and how cozy of an atmosphere it was. We will definitely be back for another show there!
Great show...something my daughters & I will remember for sure!

I brought my 4 year old granddaughter, we both enjoyed it a lot. My granddaughter was captivated by the dancers and her favorite was the nutcracker who came to life. Will probably do it again next year. The theater was perfect for viewing, we sat in the balcony and we could see quite well. Seeing all the little girls in their holiday dresses was fun too!

The dancers were very good! For me though it is also about the music and I found the canned music not as engaging as live music. That said it was an enjoyable event.

The Twin Cities Ballet was just wonderful! Each year there is a new flavor to the Nutcracker program that a person can see it year after year and not get bored of it! Wonderful dancers bring their own talents to the stage floor it was amazing!
