The Nutcracker Knoxville Theatre reviews
Passion is an understatement
One of the best performances I've ever seen was put on by The Nutcracker. Less than thrilling was the venue, breathtakingly beautiful but full of theater seats which is not my jam. However, that did not stop the complete magic that happened on a Saturday night in January. A clear passion for making music that means something is evident throughout their whole show. Playing for hours, dancing around the stage, and picking songs from each album that would connect with the audience at that show, these guys have infused passion in every song. The Nutcracker is a show you DO NOT want to miss. Catch them when they roll through. You won't be disappointed.
