For mom, for dad, for brother and sis, The Nutcracker is a family tradition you don’t want to miss. Join Clara on her colorful, magical journey. You’ll travel through the Land of the Sweets to Spain, Russia, China and France. You’ll see a Christmas tree that grows to enormous heights, flying cooks, dancing flowers, and snow. Lots and lots of beautiful snow. The music, the magic, the laughter, the fun. It just wouldn’t be the holidays without The Nutcracker.
