Review
Maurice Sendak's gorgeous sets and Tchaikovsky's timeless music are the real stars of this Pacific Northwest Ballet version of the classic Christmas story. Julie Harris supplies the sparse narration for this beloved tale--told through dance--of a young girl, Clara, who falls asleep on Christmas Eve and dreams of strange doings at her parents' holiday party. Her toy nutcracker turns into a prince, battles mice, and takes Clara to the Land of the Sugar Plum Fairy. Sendak created fantastical backdrops and colorfully costumed versions of Clara's toys come to life, which he also captured in the illustrations for his subsequent edition of E.T.A. Hoffman's book. Add Carroll Ballard's MTV-style quick cuts, and you've got a Nutcracker that will entertain toddlers as well as the traditional audience of older children, making for cozy family viewing. --Kimberly Heinrichs
