Despite my not liking The Nutcracker, I made it a point last week to sit with H.o.p. each night for Ovation’s “Battle of the Nutcrackers”.
Well, except for the first night. Missed that one.
My brain still hurts. To get me back it keeps repeating several bar snippets of Nutcracker music.

H.o.p. just proposed a new project. Remembering the Jello Man I did (my Nailing Jello to the Wall Art), and missing the Jello Man, he is proposing we make another Jello Man, then leave it out to melt, mould it into a cat and let it set, let it melt, mould it into a dog and let it set, let it melt, mould it into something else and let it set, and so on and so on and so on.
In that way, Jello Man never dies and gets to experience being many other things.
This would be an art project of H.o.p.’s.
Long Live Jello Man.

The Nutcracker is like Jello Man. Fresh stagings can’t get past the fact it’s the same ballet and same music.
