Friends, Westies, countrymen—lend us your dance shoes.
We have *survived* another Open (barely) and have now pirouetted head-first into full-on Nutcracker season. This year, history will be made: Joel is officially making his grand stage debut as… The Rat King. Yes. The villain. The icon. The cheese-hoarding overlord of holiday chaos. If that's not reason enough to come watch, he is ALSO reprising the critically acclaimed, much-celebrated role of Party Dad #3, complete with distinguished fatherly presence and possibly a dad wave. Prepare yourselves.
Also appearing on stage (somewhere between Joel’s royal rodent reign and dad duties), Chantelle will be casually making her Golden State Ballet debut as the Sugar Plum Fairy. You know… small role, probably only dances a *teensy* bit. No big deal. Definitely overshadowed by Joel and his glorious rat crown. 🐀👑
We want to gather a Westie squad in the audience—support, heckling (respectful), applause, laughter encouraged. Rumor has it that Joel will wield his newfound rat powers to secure a group seat deal. He promises not to nibble on anyone (no guarantees).
Come see us! Come support! Come watch Joel live his best villain-dad double life while Chantelle sparkles in the background.
✨ Let’s make this a Westie Nutcracker takeover!
