REVIEW: National Ballet’s scrumptious Nutcracker will melt every last Grinch-heart in town

My childhood memories of learning to dance were front and centre for me when I attended opening night of The Nutcracker, performed by the National Ballet of Canada at the Four Seasons Centre for the Performing Arts.
