The Nutcracker is something else I never saw growing up. I must have been waiting to see it live. I enjoyed the performances last night, and hopefully, I can make this a holiday tradition.
Another 5k done. You might notice a theme. First chocolate now cookies. 😉 We had fun at the @santahustle. I got my share of cookies. #santahustle

The Chicago Tribune has described it as "A glossy rendition filled with gorgeous, glitzy costumes" and The Cincinnati Enquire writes that Kremnev has "brought dance to a whole new level. "The Art Deco Nutcracker" is Kremnev's eig we know. Tickets were given to me.
