The Nutcracker presented by The Joffrey Ballet at Auditorium Theatre

Chicago Tribune - Recommended

"...Nutcracker is a marvel of discipline married to pleasure and whimsy, as well as a detailed demonstration of the directorial genius of the late Robert Joffrey."

Chicago Sun Times - Highly Recommended

"...Sure, "The Nutcracker" is the quintessential initiation into the world of ballet and theater for young audiences. But the truth is, those who think of this production solely in kiddie terms are cheating themselves out of a grand experience, for the Joffrey dancers invariably perform this full-length work with exceptional fire and exuberance. And the company looks better than ever this year."

SouthtownStar - Highly Recommended

"...One of the best dance companies in America, the Joffrey Ballet keeps improving from year to year. And this holiday season, this Victorian-American version of "The Nutcracker" -- created by Robert Joffrey, with Gerald Arpino as artistic director -- is better than ever."
