What a sweet dress!

 Matthew Bourne has done what he does best and left tradition at the door. Instead he's reimagined The Nutcracker ballet in his own inimitable style with costumes to match. May I present a small selection to you....it's going to be one of those Marmite moments where either you love them or hate them. They're difficult to ignore or be indifferent about💟

Marshmallow girl.


Allsorts girl.


Knickerbocker




And last but not least the main attraction.....the Nutcracker.

Part of Monday's shenanigans when out with friend E.
