The Nutcracker at Bass Hall - Thanks Ellen!

Naturally, it's forbidden to take pictures of the show, so here's a pic of Gwenny and me in the lobby of Bass Hall. It was a splendid production with glittering sets and a lot of clever pantomime in the first act.
Yes, I know the Nutcracker is pure kitsch and its only reason for being performed year after year by ballet companies across the country is to make money. But it's always enjoyable and can you think of a better way to introduce a five-year-old to the performing arts? "Mom" Gwenny whispered in my ear, "we recognize this song."
