we do in fact say “merde!” Lol! I’ve heard different accounts as to how it started, but the one I seem to hear the most is that it started as a way to remind people to watch out for live animal droppings, back when it was more common to have live horses, sheep, goats, etc., in the shows!
LOL! That's hilarious! I think it still fits nowadays because in my experience, it doesn't matter how many rehearsals you've run through (or how well they've gone), at 30 minutes to curtain, you're still thinking, "Merde! How do we only have 30 minutes to curtain already?" 😂
Brooklyn misses this outstanding show! I was lucky enough to see twice at BAM (Brooklyn Academy of Music), including in 2014!
I miss you guys!! Hoping to be able to see you all next year!! ❤️❤️
Wonderful!!!! Merry Christmas!!!
Are you coming back to BAM? We miss you on the East Coast!!!
Very good work bravo
This was so interesting Would love to hear more “ behind the scenes “ info .Thx for sharing.
Wow! Amazing!
looks like an absolutely beautiful production! who did the choreography? the costume design? scene design?
Alexei Ratmansky did the choreography, and Richard Hudson was responsible for both the costume and scenic designs. You're welcome. :)
Is ABT's production a touring-only production since NYC Ballet has a production at Lincoln Center?
they only perform in southern california, in the segerstrom theatre
Am I the only one watching this like 2 hours after I did my audition at my studio 😭
I didnt even know ABT did a Nutcracker
WHAT!!!
Every company does a Nutcracker. It’s their bread and butter.

They all say what to each other before the show starts? Merit?
I doubt it's "merde" (too rude for ballet!) but it fits!
