Such an amazing performance and a beautiful memory for my family which will turn it into a tradition:)
The ballet was fantastic and we enjoyed every minute of it, that is, the parts that weren't ruined by the usher. Whoever was assigned in the Left Balcony entrance obviously didn't want to be there, they were very sarcastic to the guests seated in front of me. There was also a double-booking problem for one seat and the guests had to solve it on their own bc the usher simply left to do something else and never came back to check in. 'Something else' including allowing latecomers way into Act I. I understand maybe a few minutes past opening but letting people block the view for those who came on time isnt really something a theatre should do. Honestly I will watch as many Goh Ballet productions as I can and the only thing that would make me hesitate is if the venue was Queen Elizabeth Theatre again (maybe a bit unfairly, the other staff we encountered were wonderful, but man, that one usher really ruined it)
What a perfect way to end the year. The most vibrant, interactive, inclusive presentation of the Nutcracker we've ever experienced. And those kids! Brilliant work, Goh family. Big love. ❤️
Second part of the show has nothing related to Christmas or the story of the Nutcracker. Some of the dancings just aren’t good enough compared with other international shows.
I really loved all the young dancers and the awesome sets. The woman with the hola hoop was something to behold. I did not know the human body could be that flexible.
I love to see how many local young dancers are involved in the show, and the result is so professional and simply magical. We watch Goh Ballet Nutcracker every year.
Loved the Nutcracker. Its been years since I have seen the production and was thoroughly in awe of the talent, the performers attire and stage sets. My son, not a classical theatre goer, commented “very impressive”. I hope to make the Nutcracker an annual event. One downside was the parking lot, where traffic was jammed due to the lot being full. No attendants were present, or signage as we drove around and around to advise the lot was full. Seating in the theatre was comfortable, however tight when we had to stand to let others in and out. All in all, we had a very pleasant afternoon.
Magical experience - it was like watching a story book come to life
Wonderful Event. Sugar Plum Fairy and Cavalier Prince were superb. Loved the four Russian dancers, especially. They made my granddaughter laugh.
Literally from start to finish, we enjoyed the show. Everything was amazing-dancers, costumes, orchestra, story line stayed true to the story. Clara was really adorable and so energetic! Stage was clear for dancing, no extra props hanging around. The little ones so cute! The last scene-magical. It just tied everything together! Bravo Goh Ballet!!
This was my first time attending the ballet. It was absolutely amazing. This will be my new Christmas tradition.
Came to see my great niece playing a mouse. Her performance was only seconds but I ended up really enjoying the show. 👍👍
This year was the best we have ever experienced of this production. The new costumes were marvellous and the dancing incredible. We loved the creative touches too. 👏🏻 Bravo!!
This was truly a first time Enchanting, fantastic experience to see this beautiful ballet with my best friend. There are no words to explain this. Would even love to see it again and again. Thank you Goh Ballet for this performance.
We went on opening night and the energy was unreal! The performance was SO well done and the young performers were super cute. It was a great way to get our family in the Christmas Spirit
Professional dancers, beautiful costumes, backdrops and props. Entire show was very entertaining.
The Goh Ballet production of The Nutcracker is filled with whimsy and magic. It is a joy to watch the wonderful dancers, the stunning scenery, and to listen to the VSO.
Really liked the magician and how dancers appeared out of Nowhere
