Why we love the Nutcracker

calgaryherald: Spotlight
Alberta Ballet presents The Nutcracker through Dec. 24 at the Jubilee Auditorium. Tickets: 403-245-4549 or albertaballet.com.
Although not a hit when it first landed on the boards in St. Petersburg in December 1892, The Nutcracker finally found its footing in the middle of the last century and hasn't stopped moving since.
Seriously, this time of year you can't toss a sugar plum and not hit a production.
"It's what you do at Christmas," said Alberta Ballet's choreographer, Edmund Stripe. "Your list is eat turkey, decorate a tree, see The Nutcracker."
