Why is everybody hating on Chicago's, production? I don't see why one production should be better than the other! This isn't even the full ballet! This is a little snippet of the battle. It's a great production in person! This is the Chicago Joffrey production.
It doesn't look like Clara's on pointe, the mice and soldiers seem to be little kids, the mouse King and the Nutcrackers gift is waving swords at each other...
this is 9 years late so you’ve probably forgotten about this 😂 but im pretty sure this is not chicagos production. it’s a studio in california that i was at
@@12Haque Sometimes they change the role to a Mouse Queen instead depending on how many men are dancing in the production. Last year my dance school had a Mouse Queen instead of a Mouse King.
@@12Haque you're welcome. the original nutcracker story by e.t.a. hoffman had a mouse queen whom the mouse king that we see in most versions is the son of.
Ballet Arizona's version of the nutcracker is amazing! It puts this one to shame, the production itself is 1.8 million dollars. I'm so glad I was in it this year, i got to be a small toy soldier.
I know this part. Loved "The Nutcracker" for years. This is when the Christmas tree gets enlarged by the magic of Drosselmeyer, Clara is caught right in the dream of the upcoming battle of the toy soldiers and the mice, the sugar cannon goes "bang!", and the evil mouse king or queen appears. The Nutcracker doll - very small at the start of the ballet - turns into a real-life toy soldier who finds himself facing the evil mouse king or queen to the death. Then Clara does the "shoe" thing at the evil rat.
This is so scary that my body jumped at the sound of the cannon firing onstage. I saw this ballet with my grandparents when I was Clara’s age only it was seen at an opera 🏠 somewhere in the City By The Bay. 👍🏻 if your remember it well.
So Cute!! When I was I was a soldier, we were all en pointe. Personally I like pointe soldiers better than flat. but they seemed young. We were older. Clara seemed good, though I wish she was en pointe..
I thought that Clara was very graceful. This reminded me of my own company's Nutcracker because of the smaller children as mice. The comedy part with te soldier and mouse making friends was hilarious, but I think my company's Nutcracker is far more advanced. And our age range is 5-18.
Often times Fritz is played by a girl because there are so few boys who do ballet in smaller productions/dance schools. There needs to be a Nutcracker, and then possibly a Drosselmayer, but at my school, Drosselmayer is played by a professional, I don't know about other schools.
People need to pick Clara's that are en pointe!!!!! Also, ur mice are VERY VERY loud and idk if they were supposed to be seen while Clara was dancing or not, but they were.
Sorry I over-anticipated technically on the "gunshot" or "cannon shot" here in the ballet. The price of knowing the Nutcracker too much lays on my hands. Sorry. So, since I know a lot about theater and opera, I do not see the muzzle shot of the toy soldier's musket when it was in firing position at the evil mouse leader and the rats. So I have high confidence that in this Nutcracker production, the "bang" I heard was from a prop gun fired offstage. The reason - the concern about the 9-foot buffer regarding the "wad" when using theatrical guns on stage to discharge gunshots.
In the original story, as Clara throws the shoe at the mouse leader in the height of the rats vs. toy soldiers battle, the mouse leader gets knocked out for good, but Clara faints.
I’m a soldier this year and I like the music but our costumes are goofy asl and uncomfortable but next year I’ll either be in the Spanish dance or a party girl.
Oursis awesome. We have a roadrunner thats the scorekeeper and coyotes and soldiers and king coyote. In the end eveyone dies even the luitennete. Btw this is southwest nutcracker, not originl one.
Im a metal head/professional drummer, and i love the nutcracker, and i love and respect ballet.
It's looks like rats Clara took trap Clara
I was Clara in the 2008 Nutcracker for Southwest Washington Dance Center in 2008!!! It was the best thing ever!!! I
I did ballet when I was young, and I have the mouse music and March of the Toy Soldier forever ingrained in my mind.
oh my word. the choreography is hilarious

So Cute!! When I was I was a soldier, we were all en pointe. Personally I like pointe soldiers better than flat. but they seemed young. We were older. Clara seemed good, though I wish she was en pointe..
I JUST AUDITIONED FOR THAT ROLE 😭😭
Last year I was a soldier, and this year I'm sugar plum court and a mouse!

Im a soldier, and my younger sister is Fritz!
Fritz isn't a girl...
yes i know but there is no boys in the production available
same I'm a soldier my what's your name I might know you!

kelsea marie there's some boys but they are placed in levels.If there in advanced 3/3/4/5 that's ok. But if there in 2 or 1, no.
My ballet does that.
1993 wb studios live show same

Is that the Nutcracker Prince dancing with Clara, or is it Drosselmeyer? He's got a huge cape!
