Nycbdancer Posted November 28, 2004 Report Share Posted November 28, 2004 I have had this tape on VHS for forever, but at the moment, my brother took it!!! I'm going crazy trying to find it. Anyways, great version. Should be bought if given the choice Quote Link to comment
Guest ABTgirl23 Posted November 28, 2004 Report Share Posted November 28, 2004 I'm pretty sure but I'd just like to clarify this...is this the VHS with that boy from Home Alone playing Fritz? I love that one! Quote Link to comment

I love that one! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Nope. This one was filmed in 1977. It is ABT's version from that year and has been on PBS many many years. It features Gelsey Kirkland and Mikhail Baryshnikov. It is a great production (at least as I remember it as a child.) Quote Link to comment
ABT Wannabe Posted December 4, 2004 Report Share Posted December 4, 2004 OMG I have had the VHS of that for the longest time but have not been able to watch it because we only have a DVD player! Thanks for posting this! Quote Link to comment
Guest Old Fashioned Posted December 4, 2004 Report Share Posted December 4, 2004 I don't like the production, but it's worth watching if only because there is so little footage of Gelsey Kirkland on tape. The one ABTgirl23 speaks of is my favorite. That would be Balanchine's Nutcracker, starring Darci Kistler. Macaulay Caulkin was the nephew of Drosselmeyer. Before buying the Baryshnikov Nut on dvd, you might want to check your local libraries to see if you can find a copy and view it before deciding to purchase. Quote Link to comment
Guest dancing<><piper Posted December 15, 2004 Report Share Posted December 15, 2004 I have had that on VHS forever! I love it! What don't you like about it, Old Fashioned? I also own the Balanchine version. I don't like it as well... (except for the Arabian variation!) Quote Link to comment

This is my favorite Nutcracker of all time and I can't wait for my daughter to see it. Quote Link to comment
Tiffany Posted December 17, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2004 It's my favorite Nutcracker of all time too!! Its on my Christmas list for Santa... Quote Link to comment
coffee Posted December 18, 2004 Report Share Posted December 18, 2004 I agree with you OldFashioned...Its not my favorite, although I have also had it on VHS for ever. I would suggest checking it out on PBS (does it still air every year? i havn't watched in a while) or at the libarary. Quote Link to comment
