I went to see The Nutcracker tonight and ended up enjoying it a lot more than I thought I would. I am not one who sees The Nutcracker every year, or even listens to it every year. This year, the Colorado Ballet had new sets and costumes, which was a big deal. I was genuinely amazed by the dancing, and am considering going to see another ballet production this season. They're doing The Wizard of Oz in March.
