Jr and the girls and their moms and I went to the ballet for yesterday afternoon's matinee performance of the Nutty Nutcracker.
This year's Nutty performance included cameos by Marilyn Monroe, Elvis, Dolly Parton, Willie Nelson, Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers, Dracula, the Hunchback, Dorothy, Gene Kelly, Lady Gaga, Madonna, Cher, Beyonce, Brittney Spears, Frankenstein's monster, the Bride of Frankenstein, Darth Vader, Han Solo, Jackie Chan, James Bond, Kevin Eubanks, Jeanie and Major Nelson, and many others I can't remember right now.
The Nutty ballet would probably be more entertaining and less confusing to the girlies if Elmo and Dora and the Disney princesses were performing, but we all seemed to enjoy it just the same. My favorite moments were:
1. Audrey's delight by the Gene Kelly "Singin' in the Rain" segment. She's only three.
2. Breanne and Audrey's discussion, accompanied by much "shushing" from Jr, regarding whether the dancing girl was named "Jeanie" or "Jasmine" and whether she was a genie or a princess. Breanne wasn't budging: Her name was Jasmine and she's a princess.

Now that's cute! Where do you go see it? I've never heard of it. It might be an improvement on the real one!
