Critical Acclaim for the Long Beach Ballet Nutcracker:
"Crammed with special effects, the familiar Long Beach Ballet version of The Nutcracker has nearly everything money can buy. Opulent, family-oriented entertainment. Seek no further."
--Lewis Segal, Los Angeles Times
"Extravagant and full of technical gee-whizzery. A holiday must!"
--Lynn Lasser, Press Telegram
"Festive, fantastic and fun, fun, fun! What a high?
An exhilarating incandescent experience that no one should miss!"
--Theater Critic John Carl Brodgon
Nutcrackers come and go, but only one is so spectacular, so charming, so heart-warming and memorable that it has become Southern California's favorite. For 26 years David Wilcox's production of "The Nutcracker" has been seen by over a million people at the Long Beach Terrace Theater, the Pasadena Civic Auditorium, the Shrine Auditorium, the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion,
throughout the Asian continent, as well as on television.
*The Long Beach Ballet's production of The Nutcracker has made Long Beach
the Nutcracker Capitol of Southern California."
