dirac Posted December 17, 2023 Share Posted December 17, 2023 A review of Ballet West's Nutcracker by Charles T. Murphy for Utah Arts Review. Quote The grand pas de deux of Act II, the main dance attraction of the show, was in good hands with the Sugar Plum Fairy of Jenna Rae Herrera, a lithe, radiant dancer appointed to principal artist two years ago. Her youthful Cavalier, Jordan Veit, is another recently promoted principal dancer, with elegant lines and strong leaps. Amy Potter, who grew up in Virginia, proved an equally graceful Snow Queen at the end of Act I, surrounded by the snowball-carrying corps. Link to comment
