Loyce Houlton's Nutcracker Fantasy Tickets

My family and I attend this Production every year and are never disappointed. We love it! This year we had a little boy around 5 in the row ahead of us and was very disruptive. His parents couldn’t get him to sit still and not talk. The woman with this family Sat right in front of me and her hair was so wide that I couldn’t see the middle of the stage. Fortunately, the couple next to me didn’t return for the second act so I was able to move over and was able to see The whole stage. That experience was an exception and won’t prevent us from returning next year. In fact, we’re already looking forward to it. Thanks to Lise Houlton for all her hard work all these years.

The Loyce Holton Nutcracker Fantasy has been part of our Christmas family tradition for more than 25 years. The excellent dancers and the amazing orchestra are always a thrill to experience. Tchaikovsky's music was played and directed so beautifully and the dancers skillfully interpreted every movement. Hopefully our Nutcracker family tradition will continue for many years to come!

New Yorkers to to the see The Rockettes every year to celebrate the Holiday season. Minnesotans go to see Loyce Houlton's Nutcracker! This has been an annual event for my daughter and I since she was 5 years old. On Friday she turns 34. We both love this soooo much! It is familiar and tugs at our heart strings as we age. One of the highlights for us is cheering for Phillip Brunelle.....we love that he is still conducting the orchestra after all these years. This event is fun, lovely and sentimental. Go!

Beautiful music, gorgeous dancing. Loved every second of it!!

This version missed the story of the Nutcracker and just seemed like a series of unconnected dances. I brought 4 people who had never seen the ballot before and they had no idea why things were happening nor the connection. Definitely not the best version I have seen of this show!

Our family enjoys coming every year, a wonderful fun family tradition we look forward to every Christmas season.

If the goal is diversity and inclusion, they nailed it. If it is a tradition of excellence, which we are accustomed too, they missed the mark badly. Our family has enjoyed the magic created by this production for decades. Sadly, I am uncertain that we will continue this tradition.

Excellent dancing. Beautiful costumes. Creative choreography.

This is by far the best Nutcracker performance in MN. No one can compete with the live orchestra, the colorful scenes, the incredible bright costumes or the fabulous dancers. There is a touch of sophistication along with a bit of humor, what a wonderful combination.

The show Sunday was so great, my whole family loved it!
