Love in the Country - 1993 - West End Articles Page 3

Kathy Mattea remembers the time when she was moping around the house, worried about making “an album nobody would hear.” It was 1993 and she was making a Christmas album minus the usual holiday standards or well-known carols. Santa was nowhere to be found; jingle bells, as subject or sound effect, was absent. 

For decades, THE NUTCRACKER has been a cherished holiday tradition, enchanting audiences with its timeless tale and dazzling performances. For the Talmi family, however, this production is more than just a seasonal classic—it's a labor of love that spans generations. In this exclusive interview with BroadwayWorld, producer Dan Talmi takes us behind the scenes of THE NUTCRACKER MAGICAL CHRISTMAS BALLET offering insights into its origins, the creative dynamics of a family-run enterprise and the innovative elements that set their production apart.
