The live music is beautiful, the costumes and sets are a real treat for the eyes, and the infectious energy from the dancers keeps the audience enjoying the production from beginning to end. It really sets you up for Christmas.
My Mum recorded it for me on VHS, and I just remember loving it so much that I watched it over and over again. I just remember how I loved all the costumes, music and that there were ballerinas in pointe shoes! Little did I know back then it’s not as effortless as it looks!
Can you tell us more about your character Clara?
RG: Clara’s a bright, bubbly and loveable character! She’s full of energy and love for Christmas – it’s a great role to perform. You also get to see her adventurous side as she meets the Nutcracker Prince.
There are some fabulous costumes in The Nutcracker, do you have a favourite that we can all look out to spot from the audience?
RG: The Sugar Plum tutu tends to be a favourite!
