THE NUTCRACKER Mikhail Baryshnikov's critically ac­ claimed production of 'The Nut- cracker,' danced by Baryshnikov and Gelsey Kirkland (pictured), with members of the American Ballet Theatre, will be rebroadcast Christmas Eve, WEDNESDAY. DECEMBER 24 on CBS-TV. 'The Nutcracker* marked the initial choreographic effort of Baryshnikov and was lauded by critics and public when it premiered at the Kennedy Center Opera House in Washington, D.C. Under Baryshnikov's inventive direction, the traditionally lighthearted story of a small girl's dreams on Christmas Eve is transformed into a more complex theatrical experience. The magical aspects will delight children, while adults should find the work substantially more dramatic, with significantly more dance to enjoy.
