Absolutely unprofessional! First of all the cast and principle dancers were not Ukrainian as promised but many were Japanese or some other Asian ethnicity which would not have been a problem if they could dance. Ugh! The choreography was a mess, dancers were sloppy, out of sync, appeared unenthusiastic, ungraceful, no drama, no emotion! I paid 130$! To see a phenomenal production but instead it was a sheer flop! It felt like a bait and switch. I’ve seen a far superior production put on by a local dance studio in Sitka, Alaska! No joke! Save your money or better yet get the cheapest seats. Fire the choreographer and hire professional principals from Ukrainian as promised in your add! State Street theater you should be ashamed!
saw them yesterday at the La Mirada performing arts center. WOnderful.
I'm pretty sure I saw this ballet with this company three years ago. The Sugar Plum Fairy and her Cavalier were amazing!
I know a few people in this nutcracker! A few go to my school
The review I just gave below was for their recent performance in Spokane 11/21/2023 at the First Interstate Theater.
