The Boston Ballet Nutcracker tree is definiteley three dimentional with ornaments and all. They also use about 100 children in each performance. Costumes are absoluteley gorgeous. There is a wonderful Russian Bear which does a fun version of Trepak in the Party Scene. And Mother Ginger is wonderful. And a Mouse King that pops out of the audience. Definitely a must for children and adults to experience....also the Wang is a beautiful and ornate theater. I find the best seats for children at the Wang are in the first mezzanine, row P in the orchestra, and the Box seats. Also the characters of the Nutcracker mingle with the audience in the lobby before many of the performances, usually weekend matinees.
