A solid family production with lots of cute moments featuring reindeer, bears and young dancers. The adults danced well but without great passion, the pre-recorded, poorly reproduced score was similarly without feeling. Liam Canes in the role of Drosselmeier did well to keep things moving along. None of this stopped a largely family based audience having a good time, though ballet afficardos would have left a little disappointed.
