Nutcracker

Zack really enjoyed it. He was engaged through the whole thing, all 2 hours of it, except 5 minutes during the pas de deux toward the end---the "child" Clara and Nutcracker were replaced by "principal" dancers and the style switched from fun and colorful to white, frilly, and technical, and they lost Zack. He had been dancing along with his hands, as if he were directing the orchestra, but for that part he switched to singing Wheels on the Bus under his breath. He was into it again for the farewell scene, and left the theater dancing---the usher said, "Uh oh, he's caught the bug!"

Here his nutcracker is dancing in the lobby before the show:


Here he is excited to have the show start:


Here he is clapping after one of the dances in the second act:
