Milwaukee Face Off: Nutcracker vs. Buddy Squirrel
Bear with us while we explain the concept for this series of articles: we take two seemingly unrelated Milwaukee icons, then pit them against each other in 10 categories. In each category, we assign them points, one through 10, then add them up and name the winner. For this edition we get festive by comparing the Milwaukee Ballet's "The Nutcracker," which runs through Dec. 28, to Buddy Squirrel nut, snack and gourmet popcorn shop.

Another glorious season for "The Nutcracker"
The votes are in, and the Milwaukee Ballet's performance of "The Nutcracker" is clearly a winner. The strength of this year's show stems from the brilliant choreography of Lisa de Ribere, who finally mastered the task in her third season with the company.
