I saw the Nutcracker on Horseback last Saturday and I loved it. It's such a unique idea and the horses and riders were magnificent! The horses were so beautiful as were the costumes. Noble Horse Theatre is an amazing gem in the middle of the city. A great show for the whole family! --D

After seeing two shows now at Noble Horse Theater, I have to say this company is a class act. The horses as well as the performers were spectacular. If you missed "Legend of Sleepy Hollow" do not miss "Nutcracker on Horseback" this Holiday season. It is a fabulous show for the entire family. --MW

I took 5 of my nieces and nephews to this show last weekend and all they said during it was "wow" and "look at that". They were absolutely enthralled for the entire show. I really had a good time as well, it gave me a chance to see some beautiful horses and wonderful riders. The whole show has the best music and the lighting is great. The acts flow well together, and even though you may have seen the Nutcracker, you've never seen it like this! I would definetly take the whole family to see this show. The meet and greet at the end of the show was icing on the cake. It was so interesting to meet the 'actors' and the riders as well. The kids got to ask questions and feed some treats. It was great! We will surely be going back!! --N

What a fabulous show. It is just like 'poetry in motion.' The hoses wer magnificent. We had such a great time we are planning a neighborhood outing for the 2005 Christmas season. It is the perfect 'stage' for a family event. The kids - and even the adults - will get a real kick out of meeting the horses and actors at the end of the show. --J

Wow! We attended the Nutcracker on horseback at he Noble Horse & I am completely blown away with these performers. The horses were actually part of the ballet. The Sugar Plum Fairy's incredible white arabian horse really DANCES to the tinkling music.The fast Russian song was the acompanyment to horses racing at top speed around the ring, jumping hurdles in time to the music.Each familar song was given equal atttention to incorporate the natural equine beauty to this familar story. The theatre has been restored as a magnificent castle without a bad view in the house.The staff was fabulous and at the end of the show there was a meet and great with the actors-both human & otherwise. The Noble Horse theatre is a hidden jewel that must be seen to be believed. --F

I recently saw a show here with a group of friends and to sum it up in one word I was amazed. The trick riders are nothing short of spectacular. --J

I had the pleasure of attending the Nutcracker on horseback here last year. It was so beautiful it brought me to tears. When I entered the gift shop I was surprised to see on the the performers on the registers. He was sweet and very interesting as he shared the story of his career in the Moscow Circus. Now I am looking forward to driving for hours from WI to attend the Sleepy Hollow show. This theater is like no other and is a great value. Please bring the kids so they can see some original theatre-enough of that pre-packaged,merchandised crap! A hidden jewel!!!! --F

"Nutcracker on Horseback" was even better than the last show! It is another must see show in Chicago. If you only see one show this Holiday season...don't miss this one. --M
