Book Reviews of The Nutcracker Backstage: The Story and the Magic
Book Review: BEAUTIFUL BOOK!
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased this book for my niece, who has been in her dance company's performance of the "Nutcracker" for the past three years. She and I both loved this book, not only for the incredible photographs of different ballet companies across the U.S. but because it tells about ALL of the characters that are involved in this production. It of course covers the main characters as most of these types of books do but it gives equal time to the "smaller" parts that children normally play in this type of production. It starts with the auditioning process and then proceeds to cover every aspect of a production of this magnitude, including what happens backstage before, during and after the performance. It also describes all of the pre-production aspects, such as making costumes, scenery, etc. Overall, it's an absolutely marvelous book and I would recommend it to anyone who already loves "The Nutcracker" ballet or those whom would like to learn more about it!
