The Orchestra was nice.....The children were nice.....I would say it is more of a neighborhood/community venue. Not as it was portrayed

Saw Albano's Nutcracker last year and it was terrible. Would not go back again even with free tickets. Choreography was terrible and boring.

Albano's Nutcracker was a waste of time and money. The seats were horrible. There was no ballet. It was just people running around. We left at the intermission.

Definately more for someone who prefers quiet and no speaking from the actors. Would also suggest not gettting floor seats if your a short person. Had trouble seeing over peoples heads. Would suggest seats higher up for these people.

I have seen many Nutcrackers in the past and had high hopes for this performance. With the exception of a few very talented ballerinas, the level of the company as a whole was sub-par. The prologue was entirely too long with too much mime and stopping the music multiple times was entirely unnecessary. I noticed many of the audience members left after the first half which in my mind was unfortunate because I felt the second act was much better than the first.

I have seen productions of The Nutcracker all over the Country. This interpretation was one of the worst. In addition, we paid extra for Floor Seats and could not see at thing - an usher had to relocate us so that we could see the stage.

I left at intermission. It was just a bad performance. Seemed like it was a high school talent show.

So bad that I left 20 minutes into it. The only good thing about it was the memorable music. I've seen the production before, but this version of it was by far the worst.

The orchestra and the performers were extremely good! Loved the music. Would have preferred stadium seats because we could not see the performer's feet being on a floor seat. Very disruptive having floor seats when attendants were seating late arrivals.

I thoroughly enjoyed the ballet, which I attended with my husband, daughter, and her boyfriend. We have seen the Nutcracker at the Bushnell, and I must say that I really enjoy the live orchestra over the recorded track. That said, the Mohegan Sun arena, while a nice sized arena for concerts and sporting events, is not the best venue in the world for a ballet. Maybe we've gotten used to a better class of audience going to the Bushnell Theater. The performance was scheduled to begin at 7pm - it was closer to 7:20 before it started. Even with that delayed start, there were audience members who did not get to their seats in time. They were extremely disruptive, even bringing in food (hotdogs and nachos?? Didn't you eat dinner before arriving??) and talking. Even throughout the performance - while I'm all for exposing your children to a cultural event, there were people who brought INFANTS to the performance - I mean, really??? Show a little common sense and consideration for your fellow patrons. And the height of rudeness - leaving BEFORE the end of the performance and the curtain calls. Did you really have to beat the traffic out of the Sun???

I took my mom to this thinking it would be great since it was @ Mohegan Sun! What a mistake! Mr. Albano wrote himself into the Nutcracker and can not even dance!!! Very weird show with limited talent and dancing. Don't waste your money on this one!

I took my 13 y/o daughter because it felt like a nice Christmas-y thing to do...I don't care for the event but thought she might. She fell asleep in about 30 mins and at intermission asked if we could leave. I'm sure the performers are very accomplished, but not talking or singing wasnt our cup of tea...Merry Christmas, anyways!

It was not worth the price of admission. Over 50% of the attendees left at intermission, it was that poor of a performance. The first half of the show was slow. There were long, awkward pauses in the music. Albano himself was self-indulgent. The performers often ran back and forth on the stage, not dancing. The costumes were drab.
The second half was better, a little. The dancers performed well and were given a chance to dance. The oriental act dancers hardly had time on the stage and the middle eastern act was laughable. The children were the sweetest. Still people left in droves all through the performance. It was sad.
Throughout the performance, phones rang, disco balls spun red and blue lights, and people took flash photos. It was distracting.

If you are a seasoned theater goer and enjoy ballet, you will be sorely disappointed with Albano's. If you are a neophyte ballet watcher, well, you will be sorely disappointed too. It wasn't professional enough for a regular, nor was it interesting/entertaining enough for the casual viewer.
