Lynne:
I have fond memories of seeing The Nutcracker at the Wang in Boston - must have been 1997. I took my mom, who was visiting for the holidays. It is one of my fondest memories of time spent with her before she became so ill. As far as I know, there were no famous performers in it (but I probably wouldn't have recognized anyone unless it was a household name like Baryshnikov). She was enthralled with the music and the scenery and that was lovely to share with her.
Meryl:
I love all the ballet stories! I used to be a huge groupie of The Stuttgart Ballet, The Royal Ballet and ABT when they visited the Met in the '70's. That was a kind of golden age. I saw Baryshnikov's debut and Nureyev's farewell among other things, like the partnership of Antoinette Sibley and Anthony Dowell. Nice memories!
Lynne, though I saw the Nutcracker in NY a number of times, my favorite memory is similar to yours, when my Mom and Dad bought tickets for the Cleveland Ballet production because they knew how I loved ballet. The production was nice, but the real enjoyment was being with my parents, eating Greek food beforehand, and feeling the Christmas glow with them.
Jeff Wrangler:
It's like that song from A Chorus Line, which I just recently saw for the first time: "Everything's Beautiful at the Ballet."

The real rodeo starts when the spurs are hung up and the chaps come off.
Twenty-four stories of ropin’ and ridin’ on the open range.
Saddle up and go for a long, hot ride. There's nothing in this world like a sexy cowboy...mounting another cowboy. In this fiery collection of gay erotic fiction, today's top erotica writers offer up stories of devious cattle rustlers seducing naive farm hands; dangerous outlaws breaking in small-town deputies; young, hung buckaroos wrangling each other; and duels not on the streets but between the sheets. These maverick writers take readers on a hot and heavy, no-holds-barred trip through the Old West to the New West, where "ramrod," "six-shooter," and "hog-tied" take on entirely new meanings.
