Synopsis

This production of Hip-Hop Nutcracker is our own special version of a beautiful holiday tradition. We have reimagined and modernized the traditional ballet with a hip-hop flair in the hope of creating a new tradition to be enjoyed by all ages. The story begins with Drosselmeyer, a toy maker, in his workshop creating Christmas presents using his magic to bring the toys to life. He then visits his favorite goddaughter at her family’s holiday party and presents her with an enchanted nutcracker. This gift sweeps Clara into a magical hip hop adventure through different realms of her imagination including the Snow Kingdom and the Land of the Sweets.
