“A moving, inclusive, and wholly original version of The Nutcracker” – Chicago Tribune“A riveting reinvention!” – Chicago Sun-Times“It will bring your family closer together!” – Chicago Tribune
This captivating musical reinvents E.T.A. Hoffmann’s original tale, turning it into a brand new seasonal classic all ages can enjoy. After the loss of her Marine brother, young Clara’s crusade to save her grieving family (with the help of a remarkable nutcracker) comes alive with dazzling theatricality. It weaves together a delightful original score, riveting dialogue, and astonishing puppetry.
Full of magic and hope, this contemporary retelling is a heartwarming yet hilarious story that shows the healing power of the imagination. It’s as tuneful and fun as it is poignant and touching.
