Haven't been to the PNB Nutcracker but my wife and I did see Cyrano de Bergerac. We dressed nice but no suit.

The Nutcracker was a mommy daughter thing. I'd take my son steelheading instead. Used to spend quite a bit of time taking my daughter to ballet/dance and help out back stage setting up the local dance studio production. They were recruiting me to be Mother Marshmellow.

Hey Sol they are always looking for male ballerinas for lead spots. You should get your daughters into dance class, if not for ballet, maybe just jazz dance. With all my wife's watching of Dancing with the Stars I think she'll want to take a ballroom dance class.
