ballet.night.

Last night i went to see the urban nutcracker at the hancock theater. My friend's eleven year old daughter is the lead, clarice (aka- clara in the normal nutcracker), and she had a row of seats, so i tagged along. I was impressed. The concept was great- the typical nutcracker story, but updated to take place in the modern world, along with different styles of the same tunes. Instead of just ballet, there was jazz, tap, swing, and hip hop. It was a much bigger deal than i expected, and everyone did a great job. Yay for diversity!
