Holiday Magic.....”Nutcracker”
By Shelagh Dubsky
The holiday season is upon us and with it comes the holiday tradition and timeless classic “Nutcracker.” Enduring for more than a century, this story ballet is a fairy tale for all ages. It is the nostalgia for holidays past and the promise of holidays to come that make “Nutcracker” an enduring favorite of all generations. Children will particularly enjoy the fun-loving antics of the delightful mice and the Bon-Bons who make their appearance from beneath the gigantic hooped skirt of the beloved Mother Ginger.
“Nutcracker” is a holiday spectacular that transports the audience to the most magical of all places during the holiday season, the world as seen through the eyes of a child. Here families can share together in the Stahlbaum’s Christmas Eve party and the exhilarating midnight battle between the Nutcracker and the evil mouse king before joining Clara on a whilrwind adventure through the enchanted snow forest to the palace of the Sugar Plum Fairy.
This holiday treat beloved by all is filled with dazzling special effects, the beautiful music of Tchaikovsky, and spirited dancing by the area’s finest dancers. Purchase your tickets early to guarantee seats for this most cherished classic!
