chicagotribune.com: Like Santa's elves, costume shop workers have been racing to meet their deadline, stitching, sewing and hemming away in a small room tucked into a corner of the Joffrey Tower at State and Randolph streets.
Four regulars have been joined by four seasonal workers to ready some 200 costumes for "The Nutcracker," the Joffrey Ballet's annual outing that this year plays Dec. 1-4 at the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion in Los Angeles and Dec. 9-27 at Chicago's Auditorium Theatre.
They repair, they alter and they also replace — the original garments date back 24 years to the production's premiere.
