Upon arrival and check - in at the downtown luxury hotel — whose expansive lobby is
decked out in holiday cheer — you'll receive a Joffrey Nutcracker gift bag filled with keepsakes: a commemorative program detailing the new version of the show (now in its second season), with behind - the - scenes peeks at set designs, dance rehearsals, costumes and more; a hand painted, wooden nutcracker doll; and, perhaps coolest of all, a real pointe
shoe that was worn and signed
by one of the dancers in the show.
Meanwhile, a well - heeled woman, recognizable
by a petite
shoe and the fringe of an elegant dress, ascends stairs to the upper
deck, on the viewer's side of the divide.
