We asked the cast and creative team:
Why Should Families See My First Nutcracker?
It is a fun, current take on an old favorite!
It promotes a space for kids to interact, have fun and learn about this amazing show that is a holiday tradition!
They’ll have so much FUN!!!
It’s a perfect introduction to the “big kid” Nutcracker. In our show children are encouraged to participate, they learn a dance and get to enjoy a more interactive experience with Clara Marie and her friends.
It is a joyful dancing bite-sized treat made just for little ones with imaginations. While there is plenty of sparkle and flair, we created a story for the heroes and friends who know a toy can bring an entire world to life.
It’s a short and very sweet take on an old classic
It is the timeless story but told in a wonderful, fun and creative new way! We have such terrific storytellers moving us through this piece and world we get to explore.
