      This production of the Nutcracker was intimate and enjoyable, without the added hustle of trying to get into Boston. The free parking was a bonus. The only thing that I would have liked would have been live music as it was taped, but I'm sure that would have made the production much more expensive. Otherwise, it was a top notch performance.

      This is a good event for small children. The venue is big enough to be impressive but small enough to deliver good views. Many of the dancers were quite good but the choreography wasn't especially imaginative. For recorded music the sound was good. The food and favors on sale in the lobby were very reasonably priced too. Collapse

Jose Matteo manages to combine children and professional dancers very well. Great job, we'll be back! Collapse
