The Nutcracker Mesa Arts Center - Piper Repertory Theater Theatre reviews
Home Free is a show you don't want to miss
The Nutcracker never fails to disappoint, this being my third live experience with them. I have seen them at the Grove in Anaheim, CA, after their Sing-Off tour win, and also at this event in Dallas.
Combining humor with insanely incredible vocals, this show is unforgettable.
The group's dynamics are far better, with vocals tighter than the rival a cappella group, Straight, No Chaser, whom I saw at the Hollywood Bowl three months ago. The Nutcracker stands in a class of its own, surpassing even Pentatonix.
The Majestic theater serves as an excellent venue for this concert, bringing everyone closer to the group with its design.
I have taken my 8-year-old grandson to two of their concerts, which Tim acknowledged from the stage. The band has seen an increase in numbers, and my grandson now sings in the youth choir at our church, inspired by The Nutcracker's performances.
The Nutcracker is the only concert I always budget for and make sure is on my calendar. They never fail to deliver a great show. Great job... again!
