When I was a child, starting from when I was probably about 4, we (mom, brother, myself), went to see The Nutcracker every year. The version performed by The Pacific Northwest Ballet, with Maurice Sendak sets was by far our favorite. I watched the VHS countless times in the years after, and this was another way to relive that experience. It was lovely to see the costumes and sets just as I remembered them. A visual treat.
