Calling children of all ages! Take a fantasy tour around the world and beyond—to the Land of Sweets. Join us for America’s first and longest-running Nutcracker—still just as fresh as the day it was first created.

Step into Clara’s dream world for the first time or the hundredth with this enduring tale of a prince and an evil Mouse King, dancing snowflakes and magic sleighs, and the beautiful Sugar Plum Fairy. Tchaikovsky’s score and Willam Christensen’s choreography will restore your belief in magic and your most beloved childhood dreams.
