Local Ballet School’s ‘Nutcracker’ At American University Tripped Up By Chris Matthews
Wa Po ^ | 12/5/13 | Roxanne Roberts with Emily Yahr

The fight for Christmas took a hit this week when politics bigfooted a troupe of adorable little ballet dancers performing “The Nutcracker.”

MSNBC’s Chris Matthews is scheduled to interview President Obama on Thursday night at American University as part of the “Hardball College Tour.” MSNBC approached AU to host the chat, and officials jumped at the chance for a free, hour-long commercial for the university and its students.

It’s a rehearsal, not the actual performance.

The ballet troupe had scheduled two rehearsals - a technical blocking rehearsal on Thursday and a full dress rehearsal on Friday.

These are ABSOLUTELY needed before they perfom the 8 sold-out performances.

NOW, they have to go through BOTH rehearsals AND the first two performances on the SAME day - Sunday. Its a 12-hour day for them, 7-8 year olds ...

What if Chrissy Matthews wet dream of interviewing his crush Obama evaporated into oblivion, completely trounced and swept from the news cycle by the death of a major international figure?

Wouldn't that be funny?
