Today we took Miss J and Mr. Z to the Fox Theater for the Atlanta Ballet’s Nutcracker show…
Ah.. It was such a great experience for both of them and myself. It was the first time for me to visit the Fox theater. What an amazing theater!! I was so in awe for the beauty of the architecture and details of the building. I didn’t know about the history of the Fox until to read it from their website. It makes the experience of the show even more magical. The history that has been preserved through time makes me feel like we have been transformed to the different time.
The show is no doubt fun and captivating. This will surely be one of our holiday activity from now on. Maybe next year I might invest in a better seat. :) I wasn’t sure how they will do with such a long show.. So I purchased the cheapest seat. To my surprise, we were almost at the front row but to the left of the theater. I guess next year we can try to get a seat on the middle section of the theater.
Miss J and Mr. Z got to enjoy the musician during the intermission on the front row.

What a wonderful event for the holidays :) I just LOVE the Nutcracker. I’m sure your children just adored all of the costumes and dancers. What fabulous tradition to start :)
What an awesome experience for the family! Nutcracker makes me feel really Holidayish and I think I will have to do that with the kiddos next Christmas
We have a beautiful Fox Theater here in Detroit, too! I also remember seeing the Nutcracker there years ago.
Don’t you just love all those old ornate, Art Deco style theaters?
I love the Nutcracker. We went to see the local show, and then watched the San Francisco production on PBS.
