Review of The Joffrey Ballet

I was truly disappointed in this remake of the Nut...

I was truly disappointed in this remake of the Nutcracker. I have seen the Nutcracker 7 times, 4 times with the Joffrey Ballet Co. This was the very 1st time I was ever disappointed. The costuming was substandard. The ballet was slow and out of sync and unremarkable in every way. The set was bland, and you never knew when you could applaud.. the audience would attempt to applaud but the timing never was right. It just didn't work.
