AKA "THE NUTTY"
FOR BEING ONE OF THE MOST BELOVED NUTCRACKERS IN THE COUNTRY!!!!

"The show is filled with lots of energy and good hearted foolishness and the actors and the majority of the audience really seems to be enjoying themselves ... The show is a light-weight piece of want-to-be-filthy fluff that fortunately doesn’t take itself too seriously. It exists for fun and seasonal laughs and delivers what it sets out to."
-Chris Jackson, John Garcia's The Column

John Strange, Selig Film News

"

The Beulaville Baptist Book Club Presents: A Bur-Less-Q Nutcracker is laugh out loud funny. The playwright/actor Sonna is insane, funny and smart.
A Bur-Less-Q Nutcracker bumps and grinds its way to big laughs."
Marilee Vergati - Examiner.com

"Whoo-hoo!"
Gini Moscorro - KERA FM

"An unqualified hoot.
Highly recommended."

Mike Orren - PegasusNews.com

"MBS Productions have shunned tradition and has delivered a new holiday favorite all wrapped up and tied up with a fishnet stocking."
Lyle Huchton, Associate Theater Critic for John Garcia's THE COLUMN

-Mark Lowry, TheaterJones.com

Recipient of the 2008 Column Award Nomination as
BEST NEW PLAY OF THE YEAR


"..is as ridiculously fun as its title suggests....
This is a 'Nutcracker' for anyone who always wanted to chuckle during the ballet but didn’t feel they could. Here, it’s encouraged."
Arnold Wayne Jones - Dallas Voice

"MBS Productions’ A Bur-Less-Q Nutcracker  transcends the conventional with gleeful delight and sends its audience out into the night with ho ho ho holiday hubba-hubba."
Alexandra Bonifield - PegasusNews.com

"The choreography by Mark-Brian Sonna and
Jana Edele, is ingenious, inspired and amusing. By turns graceful and bawdy, with just the right balance of edification and dance-hall shimmy."

Christopher Soden - Edge Dallas

"
Nothing enlivens family holiday gatherings quite like a burlesque routine."
Jessey Hughey - Dallas Observer

"See a naughty Nutcracker...The fictional Beaulaville is possibly the only place on earth not familiar with burlesque, and high comedy ensues when the characters (and the audience) get exposed to it."
S. Anne Durham - Dallas Observer
