I caught PNB's performance of Nutcracker a few days before Christmas. It was the first time I've seen the performance since I was a kid, and I was expecting a show fit for little people. And while there were plenty of the young-adult set in attendance (as well as a puppy. Seriously.) I was surprised at how well the production relates to adults as well. Kind of a rarity in the post-Shrek world of kiddie flicks. Mike Myers take note: Tchaikovsky and Hoffman had the family entertainment bit worked out 100 years ago, and they didn't need penis jokes, Eddie Murphy, or Smash Mouth to do it.
