Nutcracker

I think there's a lot of really great music that they're playing.

I mean, I like the rep and we've got Mahler One, we've got Nutcracker,

Messiah.

You're going to play a lot of Nutcracker here in Dayton.

Well, I've never played the whole thing before, so that'll be good.

I'm excited to learn that.

Guys are always like valuable.

So they're like, can you come and be in our Cinderella? Can you come and be in our Nutcracker? Can you come and be? And all I am is a forklift.

My job is to literally lift the girls, carry them across the stage and put them down over here.

And then they do their little dance.

And on the weekends, I would do bar mitzvahs and all these magic shows.

And I worked for agents and did all that stuff.

And then I got a knee injury doing Nutcracker.

uh you do 30 straight performances of nutcracker and i did this uh this it's called a coffee grinder where you're like down on your one leg and your other leg swings around and i twisted my knee and i tore cartilage so i had surgery after that and i was like i need to recover for six months and i was auditioning for all these dance companies i had five different dance companies a modern dance company a ballet company and all these different things And I auditioned for the show called The Magical Empire at Caesar's Palace.

Pale Girl takes the, takes the doll from Art, and Vicki gives him a brand-new chainsaw, and of course Art the Clown is happy.

And this is where we have the chainsaw guys and girls, and the theme for the chainsaw, chainsaw guys and girls are The Nutcracker characters.

And John Murdy, I guess he watches all the updaters, and he made fun of us saying, "You thought you knew what the Terror Tram was this year." Everyone, including myself, thought it was gonna be Blumhouse, and then John Murdy does this and say, "No, it's Art the Clown, and you thought you knew what we were doing."

I remember him saying that, James.

And I had her right before Christmas.

And We were playing the Nutcracker and she dances all the time to the Nutcracker and then she will demand that we put on the Nutcracker and she does this little like symbol of like it's time to put the Nutcracker on.

So I started to put her in like baby ballet and like things where she can just dance and twirl around have a good time.

And one of our partners is Dr. Mona Amin.
