We just got back from the Alberta Ballet's brand new Nutcracker. 'Twas good. Michelle asked what the Nutcracker has to do with Christmas and I have to admit I'm stumped. Oh well, good music and some fine dancing.
But you know what ballet I would like to see at Christmas time? The Nightmare Before Christmas! How sweet would that be? Get the Edmonton Symphony Orchestra (who were fantastic as always tonight) to do the music, lots of interesting people could do the singing. Holly Cole anyone? Or maybe Wendy McNeill to keep it local. Cadence Weapon doing the men's songs! Yeah!
