The Nutcracker
Most of the Nutcrackers that show up in theatres this time of year are full-scale productions that are meant to awe adults as much as to charm children. The fact is that often, in the interest of production values, the flow the story itself gets lost for kids. Lyric State adduces those issues with a more modest production of ‘The Nutcracker’ by its Children’s Theatre. The production, which is aimed at younger audiences, is also not quite as expensive as the more elaborate versions of the show.
