FAQ:
Is Vital doing it again next year?
- I don't know.
Do shows sell out in advance?
- Yes!!! But if you turn up at the last minute, sometimes there will
be seats turned in, so do not despair.
Is it the same production as last year?
- Not really. I revised the script and added some characters. We
have ALL NEW Sets & Costumes, too! And this year, we've cast ballet
dancers in many roles, so look for some serious twirling - on pointe!
You can see photos from our Dress Rehearsal here:

Are you playing Tante Miriam again?
- Not this year. But I'll be out in the lobby signing books after
some shows. (Friends, let me know you're coming, and we can plan
coffee!)
What age group is it for?
- Grownups love it 'cause it's literate and irreverent. Kids of all
ages are welcome. Last year, 7-11-yr olds were my fave audience, but
the magic of music, color & dance seems to work for even the littlest.
Where should we sit?
- It's a tiny theatre; I like rows D-F, myself.
Happiest of holidays to you! Please feel free to pass this message on
to anyone you think might be interested, and I hope to see you at THE
KLEZMER NUTCRACKER!
