A Storybook Nutcracker

What do twirling Snowflakes, and pigtailed Bon Bons need to complete a ballet? A great story teller! A Storybook Nutcracker, now in it's 15th year in Everett, uses brief narration to bring the story along. With a cast of 50 dancers and actors, this production is fully staged, with falling snow and new scenery.
David Aldridge is in his third year as the Nutcracker. Beautiful An-My Nguyen, age 16, dances the role of Sugar Plum Fairy. The role of Clara is danced by 12 year old Kelsey Dewitt. Both An-My and Kelsey have danced in the production for many years and have "worked" their way up to their dream roles.
Director Jennifer Greene has brought this production to Alderwood Dance Spectrum, continuing an Everett holiday tradition. The ballet has been shortened slightly, to make it easier for children (and husbands) to sit through. The characters are all friendly and engage the audience as guests.
Mother Ginger, Darlene Larsen, with the production since 1995, greets guests and invite them to the Christmas party. Following the performance, guests are able to meet the cast, in character, for photos and autographs.
