If, as I am, you are a fan of Maurice Sendak's Where the Wild Things Are, you will understand why I enjoyed the performance of the Nutcracker by the Pacific Northwest Ballet so much -- he created the settings and costumes. Clara's brother was particularly "naughty" (Godfather Drosselmeyer egged him on to tease his sister) and here was even a "dance of the wild thing" in the second act. And of course there was a Christmas tree that grew huge in a very special way. We all (Mary, Alexis, Ethan, Jack, and I - Mark was in surgery) had a wonderful afternoon.
