It looked like a bondage film. I kept waiting for the whips and chains.
“Doc” Biden needs to go see a shrink. I’m really surprised that there were no Dancing Breakfast Tacos.
If Fred Astaire’s brain short circuited every 10 seconds or so, you’d have a rough approximation of these utterly awful dancers. Their interpretation of the Nutcracker was in name only; it could have been any atonal mishmash. Their costumes were taken from the trash bins of 50 years of high school plays, and their facial expressions resembled people having a colonoscopy. It was just bloody awful in every way, and we the taxpayers are on the hook for whatever that shanda cost.
The impression I got was that it was an 18th century marquis de sade interpretation of the nutcracker. Only thing missing was the well equipped Whitehouse dungeon with a populated gibbet cage dangling from the ceiling. Looked like all the characters were present.

It was like a bizarre Dr. Who episode.
It was also blatantly disrespectful.
That performance was idiotic & not really fit for anything. If that’s the best they can do, it is time to quit.
It was there, but barely recognizable. It was as though they thought that the Tchaikovsky estate would sue them for what they did. Nothing of E.T.A Hoffman’s story survived.
Having two left feet seems to be a requirement for this dance troupe. Grace, beauty and athleticism are too bourgeoisie for the New Age.
Ghastly dancers in ugly costumes.....not even close to capturing the Christmas spirit.
