The Magic Nut. History of the Nutcracker.6+
Story
Review
The jar is only in appearance - an ungainly doll for picking nuts. In fact, the Nutcracker is a brave fighter, and in the past - a fine young man. Once he saved the princess from the evil spells of the sorceress Mysilda - and he himself fell under witchcraft, turned into a funny Nutcracker.
But even in such an unattractive form, he remained brave in heart. It does not matter that the mouse king has seven heads - the valiant Nutcracker will chop off them all and bring seven crowns as a trophy!
The fairy tale will end, but, perhaps, one day the Nutcracker will be disenchanted, return to his beloved and take her to his marzipan kingdom? How to know ...

“ We watched one of the most famous productions about love at the Moscow Puppet Theater - “The Magic Nut. The Nutcracker Story. Among the many performances of the fairy tale by E. T. A. Hoffman is the play by playwright L. Yakovlev closest to the original, which my daughter and I really liked. But the usual music was heard only once, I love it very much, so I waited for the whole performance, and my daughter shook her leg in time with the new works by composer S. Zhukov. Also unexpected was the performance of the German Christmas anthem "O Tannenbaum" and the accompaniment of musical instruments. Heroes sing, dance, have fun, because they meet Christmas and everything is so natural that the audience also feel themselves part of this family. The listed components and costumes of the heroes of the era of the 19th century show us the original Nutcracker, as he could have been before P. I. Tchaikovsky wrote the ballet, which director Natalia Lebedeva wanted to show us. In the performance, the actors play the roles of people, and the dolls play the role of dolls, and the Nutcracker first plays the doll, and when the spell is dispelled, it turns into a young man - Drosselmeyer's nephew. But before the spell falls, viewers see many interesting moments: a wooden bicycle-horse, unusual watches, bright masks, circus elements, a beautiful toy castle, amazing houses on the heads of actors and a watchmaker’s suitcase, snow, stars, “black theater”, shadow theater and more. My daughter and I were struck by the Mouse King - they are two actors in black suits, studded with mice, one has three big mouse heads in crowns, the other has 4, they form a seven-headed king and at the same time a horde of mice. Very impressive and even frightening, especially those who look from the first rows. At the end of the performance, I talked with my daughter about sympathies: I liked the wizard Drosselmeyer (Anton Chalysh), the character turned out to be fun, playful and not simple; daughter liked the dolls, especially the moment when they came to life and began to fight off mice. Nevertheless, staging with a hint of humor and leaves a sweet-tart aftertaste. The performance is 1h. 40 min (with intermission), designed for viewers from 6 years. The hall is roomy, there is no lift, the stage is high, the transforming chairs. Program 100 rubles. My daughter drew attention to the curtain, said that Konfetenburg is depicted on it. During the intermission went to the buffet, treated to fresh (still warm) pastries and fruit compote, very tasty and all for 50 rubles. In the buffet, you can sit at a table by the window with dolls or in a house with books. I recommend to come to the theater in advance, because there is a museum “House of theatrical doll”, where the dolls from various performances are represented. Some exhibits are behind glass, but many are open, alongside are signs with the name of the performance, posters, photographs, and scenery. The daughter was impressed by the big dolls, it is very interesting to look at them closely. In the hall there are also a lot of dolls behind glass and just on the windows. There is a magic mailbox for spectator mail, where everyone can drop his letter addressed to a fabulous hero or a favorite artist. If you specify a return address or e-mail, you may get an answer. There is a small shop with toys for children, my daughter really liked the puppet, it seems to me that I was exactly the same as a child. And that's not all, be sure to linger around the wardrobe, because the wardrobe-workmen work there. These are cute dolls who enjoy communicating with children, playing with them and musical instruments. We met Motya, he simply charmed her daughter, she is very much looking forward to a new meeting :)
“ We went with the child for 7 years, a wonderful performance, a bright good actor's play, I advise you to go.
“ Stunning performance very original costumes watched with a child of 6 years left in raptures
