Holmes Norton to appear in 'The Nutcracker'

Del. Eleanor Holmes Norton (D-D.C.) is joining the ballet … at least for one night.

The congresswoman is reprising her role as a merry widow in the Washington Ballet’s production of “The Nutcracker” on Saturday.

It’s the third time Norton, 77, has taken to the stage with the ballet company. Other Washington fixtures, including Mayor Vincent Gray (D) and the late former Mayor Marion Barry (D) have appeared in the classic Tchaikovsky ballet.

“There is no more delightful fun than seeing or being lucky enough to be asked to perform in ‘The Nutcracker,’ ” Norton said in a statement. “Isn’t this every kid’s dream?”

I thought Norton was already busy doing “The Ballbuster”.

She was on Hannity last night and admitted to not caring about the facts of the Michael Brown case.

I was in Dennis Nahat’s Nutcracker two years in a row, as a Spanish and Russian Guard.

Her head IS shaped like a nut. I’d go with a Filbert.

Holmes Norton to appear in 'The Nutcracker'

Who's gonna play the cracker? And what self-respecting cracka would appear in a movie with her?

Eleanor looks deep in thought, wondering “Should I tell Hannity about my fantasy life and my magical robes? Nah, better not. Might ruin my reputation!”

She was reading the script for nutcracker instead of reading the evidence.

For those who only read the headline, someone please explain how they will incorporate a boxing match into a ballet? And which is the Nutcracker and which is the Rat-king?
