The Joffrey Ballet's 'Nutcracker' Family Dinner

The Joffrey Ballet feted its then-current production of The Nutcracker with a dinner at Chicago's Palmer House Hilton on December 15. Inspired by the ballet's Land-of-Sweets setting, Kehoe Designs adorned the event with pieces of giant candy including swirly lollipops and Airheads packages. Overhead, a chandelier was decked with ribbons and more pieces of prop candy.
