NEVADA BALLET THEATRE.....FEB 25 26 SMITH CENTER DOWNTOWN LAS VEGAS

THIS THE THIRD OF THE TCHIAKOVCKY TRILOGY DANCED THIS SEASON BY
NBT.....(MY FAVORITE)....NEEDLESS TO SAY THIS IS WORLD CLASS STUFF !

SMITH CENTER 702 749 2000.....SELLOUTS EXPECTED

SELLOUTS GALORE FOR THE RECENT "NUTCRACKER"  AT THE SMITH CENTER.

THIS CHRISTMAS STANDARD PLAYED THREE WEEKS AT THE SMITH WITH
ROTATING CAST MEMBERS AND SOME LIVE ORCHESTRA... LAS VEGAS PHIL MUSIC.

TCHIAKOVSKY.. LIKE THE BEATTLES.....GETTING BETTER AND BETTER EVERY YEAR.

THE AMOUNT OF ORGANIZATION.....PRODUCTION...STAFF...TALENT...DETAIL
JUST ALL ENCOMPASING....LUCKY TO CATCH MY FAVORITE DANCER CHRISTINA
GHIARDI IN TWO ROLES HERE AS THE RAT QUEEN (NEVER SAW ONE OF THOSE
BEFORE) AND THE SPRING FAIRY......THE THREE FAIRYS AND WALTZING FLOWERS
AMONG MY YEARLY FAVORITES....ALTHO...THE NUTCRACKER PRODUCES
NUMEROUS FAVORITES...

I LIKED KAORI FUKUI AS CLARA.....SHE IS TINY AND I MISTOOK HER FOR A CHILD
AS SHE PROFILED VERY WELL WITH A REALLY TALL DROSSELMEYER.

I ONLY HOPE I LIVE FOR ANOTHER CHRISTMAS TO SEE ANOTHER NUTCRACKER !

NBT ALMOST STARTED ON TIME.... THEY SEEM TO BE GETTING MY MESSAGE..
