After the last performance, while we were moving out of the theater, a lady came up to me and told me she really enjoyed the performance. She complimented us on how well the sets and scenary matched the story. The entire production flowed well and the dancing was wonderful. She told me this was the first time she had come to Paradise for the Nutcracker. Her daughter had come last night and said mom it was so beautiful it brought tears to my eyes. She said, “So, I had to come to see what my daughter was talking about. She was right. It was that beautiful.”

I told a friend about this, an older gentleman, he said, “It brought a tear to my eye also.”
