Starting this Saturday the Nevada Ballet Theater’s The Nutcracker will be performing at the Smith Center for the Performing Arts and I have a discount code for anyone of my readers that would like to attend!
When I was a little girl I can still remember the excitement of getting all dressed up to go to see the Joffrey Ballet perform the Nutcracker in Chicago. I can still remember it all so clearly – walking to the theater in my fancy shoes, the smell of the theater, the size of the performance hall, and the amazing dancers. This was something I loved as a child and I’m so excited that now as an adult I get to share this experience with my boys. We are thrilled to be attending the Nevada Ballet Theater’s The Nutcracker this year and I hope it will be as special to them as it was to me.

Las Vegas’ favorite holiday tradition returns to light up your season! Featuring a full orchestra and larger than life landscapes, Nevada Ballet Theatre’s The Nutcracker has been hailed as “the most visually beautiful production ever staged in Reynolds Hall” by the Las Vegas Sun. Enter into a wonderland of moonlit snow and waltzing flowers as Clara and her Nutcracker Prince dance along the border between imagination and reality.
