"...Incurable Theater returns to the original E.T.A. Hoffman 1816 short story for its puppet version of "The Nutcracker and the King of Mice," and while it certainly won't give The Joffrey anything to worry about in competition, it is a charming and intimate re-telling of the story that won't cause the family budget too much distress."
