The Nutcracker ballet show was a lot more enjoyable than I originally expected. I was more expecting tutus but it was more a play. I didn’t realise there is such a thing as a nutcracker doll. The storyline definitely made a lot more sense with a nutcracker doll; rather than a modern nutcracker that resembles a plier. It was a most enjoyable evening. The lovely company made it all the better.

The voucher was for up to 4 ticket purchases for adult C reserve seats at 25 percent off the regular price. We saved at least NZD 50. With C reserve seats, one seat left or right could make a whole lot of difference.
