Buckle Up, But Not for an Eternity
The good news is, you won't need to stock up on emergency rations like a lost explorer. The Nashville Nutcracker clocks in at a delightful hour and 50 minutes, intermission included. That's plenty of time to be dazzled by Clara's fantastical journey, but not so long that your pre-show eggnog curdles or your tiny dancer gets antsy.
Intermission: A Snackrifice (and Social Opportunity)
QuickTip: Don’t just consume — reflect.
Ah, the intermission – a glorious 20-minute break built right in! This is your golden opportunity to:
- Refuel: Grab a refill on your popcorn (because who can resist?), hit the concession stand for a candy cane sword (essential for battling rogue mice, obviously), or sneak in some smuggled gingerbread (we won't tell if you don't).
- Regroup: Discuss the latest toy soldier gossip with your fellow audience members. Did you see that epic jet�? Was that sugar plum fairy channeling a bit of Beyonc�?
- Restroom Rhapsody: Let's face it, even the most magical ballets can't defy the laws of biology. Use this time wisely, my friend.
Pro-Tip for Parents (and Anyone with a Fidgety Friend)
Bringing little ones along for the Nutcracker ride? Pack some quiet activities for intermission. Nutcracker-themed coloring pages or a deck of cards (decorated with dancing mice, of course!) can be lifesavers.
The Verdict: A Night of Delight, Not a Trial by Ordeal
QuickTip: Go back if you lost the thread.
The Nashville Nutcracker is all about embracing the magic of the season, and that includes indulging in a little pre-ballet noshing, intermission chit-chat, and enjoying the overall experience. So, relax, have fun, and get ready to be swept away by Tchaikovsky's timeless tunes and the Nashville Ballet's breathtaking performance.
