\"\"It’s countdown to Nutcracker at our house. Only 16 days till opening night! The Joffrey Ballet’s Nutcracker at the St. Louis Fox Theatre<\/a> casts about 118 local children in it’s production each year and divides them into two casts. Audrey was cast as a boy in the party scene and has been attending rehearsals since late September.<\/p>\n

Dance St. Louis<\/a>, who brings in the Joffrey and coordinates the children’s cast, posted the following fun fact on Facebook:<\/p>\n

Transporting The Joffrey Ballet\u2019s production of NUTCRACKER AT THE FOX requires five 48-foot long semi-trailer trucks. One and one half semi-trailers are filled with props alone. There are well over 320 individual props, including: a 6′ x 6′ Spanish fan; a 5′ x 7′ x 4’6” tea pot; an 8′ tall grandfather clock; a 9′ x 6′ chandelier; and a 14′ tall \u201cMother Ginger\u201d puppet.<\/em><\/p>\n

This is our second time with a child in the cast. In 2008, Max was cast as a polichinelle\/mouse. The polichinelles are Mother Ginger’s children. It’s a huge production and a great experience. We are glad to be included once again.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
