Long time lurker but first time poster.
I’m not a huge Nutcracker fan and usually just watch the cinema relays although I missed it this time, so last night was my only performance.
I enjoyed it. I thought Madison Bailey was a charming and engaging Clara & had a lovely rapport with Liam Boswell as the Nutcracker.
The Grand pas went well, a little nervy in places but Lukas partnered well and allowed Leticia Dias to shine. Both solos were excellent. You wouldn’t have guessed Lukas was making his debut.
