Even if your draconian boss won't let you leave the office early today to get your Thanksgiving weekend cooking – he will leave early, of course – you can get him back by whiling away this afternoon watching the Royal Ballet's rehearsal of The Nutcracker via livestream at this link:

It starts at 2:00pm Eastern time or possibly 2:15 or 2:30 depending on whether one goes by the countdown clock on the YouTube video, the title underneath it, or this media blurb. Lauren Cuthbertson and Matthew Golding will be the Sugar Plum Fairy and her Prince.
I really did not see any rapport between Matthew and Lauren in the ODD. But I loved watching Christopher Carr rehearse The soldier and the doll. He has such a wealth of information, a good eye, and is generally pretty funny. The Royal Ballet is lucky to have him.
