[unicornhornwha]

[unicornhornwha]

Repetitive dance I've seen better sorry guys:[

[lycangirl15]

Y is that a dude

[MsBitachi]

In the times of Shakespeare guys always played women

[LucyLovettLestrange]

@MsBitachi Good point! They say it was always really young boys who did the girl parts ( in Shakespeare plays) because their voices were the softest.

[LucyLovettLestrange]

Gotta admire a guy whose willing to dress up like a girl! lol ;)

[LucyLovettLestrange]

It's funny though because you can't see Clara or The Nutcracker Prince. Most of the time they watch all of the dancing. Cute video. One of my favorite youtube clips! ;)

[LucyLovettLestrange]

Puts a smile on my face just watching those little kids!

There is nothing untoward about Mother Ginger. She's not pregnant - those are her children under her skirt, like in many fair tales. Mother Ginger is not always a guy - not by any means. In Texas, Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison was Mother Ginger. Even with a woman, however, the character is usually in "drag." Camp is the operative term.

[dancersingeractress3]

@LucyLovettLestrange do you see what those little girls are doing in the corner and do you see mother ginger, excuse my language from before though SORRY about that.

[LucyLovettLestrange]

@dancersingeractress3

Its cool! ;) I think it's cute seeing those little kids have fun. Didn't mean to sound rude but I didn't see anything wrong.

The Michigan Opera Is Bidding for the role of Mother Ginger.Either guy or girl, sounds fun and a great way to raise funds for the MOT.

[nukemanist]

HES PREGNANT!!! WHY ARE THEY GOIN BACK IN?!!! ITS SICK!!!

[nukemanist]

HES PREGNANT!!!

[LucyLovettLestrange]

Why is Mother Ginger a guy? Why not a girl?

[elasticbands]

slightly terrifying that Mother Marshmallow makes those movements as the children run back under her dress....and into her womb?!?!?

[MsPuRpLe199]

there clothes arent supose to be perfect and beautiful i was a gingerett and the costume i wore was all ragged and crap

[zac613]

@MsPuRpLe199 same here. our costumes looked like crap. the only nice thing on them was that us guys got a black velvet vest and the girls got a green velvet vest

[girlygirlyzez]

yo there isnt any talking in the nutcracker!

[pineapplehairdo]

I love Mother Ginger's costume.... but her children's costumes aren't that great in this one.... the dancers get lost in the material with their movement... all that hard work for their dance and you can hardly see what they're doing.... I actually played the mother in last years local show.... SO much Fun!!!

[bladebrad123]
