Nutcracker Pacific Northwest Ballet’s annual production of Nutcracker is almost as much of a festival in the lobby as it is in the auditorium. Between the photo opportunities, strolling musicians, magicians, and other pre-show entertainments, you could almost forget there’s a ballet at the center of the program. Which would be a mistake. Kent Stowell and Maurice Sendak crafted a unique approach to the holiday classic, combining physical virtuosity and theatrical traditions. This is the last year for their production, since PNB will premiere a new version in 2015. Come see this classic one more time. (Schedule & tickets: 441-2424 and pnb.org.) SANDRA KURTZ McCaw Hall (Seattle Center), 321 Mercer St., Seattle, WA 98109 $35-$136 Tuesday, December 23, 2014
