This was mine and David's 5th year of going to the Nutcracker together, but after watching last year's new performance of the PNB's show, we weren't anxious to get back there and wanted to switch it up. I had heard great things about the Burlesque Nutcracker at The Triple Door, and what better way to celebrate our milestone anniversary than with burlesque! This past Tuesday we headed down to the theater {which I hadn't been to in probably 8 years} and settled in to our seats in the second row. We immediately ordered martinis {it was a special occasion, after all} and several dishes to share {their menu is from Wild Ginger upstairs} before sitting back to enjoy the Christmas spectacular. The dancing was awesome and the rendition of the classic Nutcracker music was perfect. The costumes left little to the imagination {think pasties and bedazzled thongs} and everyone was in such great moods cheering on the guys and gals all night long. While I couldn't take pics during the performance, I assure you that we were thoroughly entertained and couldn't stop laughing and cheering the entire time. It was a fun new twist on one of my favorite traditions and if you haven't yet been, I'd highly recommend it for a fun and festive alternative to the typical Christmas show. You won't be disappointed :)
