A holiday mash-up for the whole family,&nbsp;The Hip Hop Nutcracker&nbsp;returns for another spectacular tour. Directed and choreographed by Tony and Olivier® Award-nominated Jennifer Weber, this contemporary dance spectacle is a re-mixed and re-imagined version of the classic, smashing hip hop dance and Tchaikovsky’s timeless music together into a heart-stirring and inspirational holiday event.&nbsp;The Hip Hop Nutcracker&nbsp;is brought to life by a powerhouse cast of a dozen all-star dancers, a DJ, a violinist, and an MC.
Just like the original, in&nbsp;The Hip Hop Nutcracker, Maria-Clara and the Nutcracker Prince go on a dream adventure battling a gang of mice, visiting the land of sweets and learning the lessons of the holiday season. Innovative digital graffiti and visuals transform the landscape of E.T.A. Hoffmann’s beloved story from traditional 19th Century Germany to the vibrant, diverse sights and sounds of contemporary New York City.
Grab your family and friends and let the dynamic performers of&nbsp;The Hip Hop Nutcracker&nbsp;take you on a journey that celebrates love, community and the magic of the holiday season.

From the songwriting team behind the smash hit Tony® Award-winning musical Dear Evan Hansen and the critically-acclaimed films La La Land&nbsp;and The Greatest Showman, A Christmas Story: The Musical,&nbsp;brings the classic 1983 movie to hilarious life on stage! Set in 1940s Indiana, a young and bespectacled Ralphie Parker schemes his way toward the holiday gift of his dreams, an official Red Ryder® Carbine-Action 200-Shot Range Model Air Rifle. An infamous leg lamp, outrageous pink bunny pajamas, a maniacal department store Santa, and a triple-dog-dare to lick a freezing flagpole are just a few of the distractions that stand between Ralphie and his Christmas wish. Nominated for three 2013 Tony® Awards including Best Musical, the Associated Press calls A Christmas Story:&nbsp;The Musical, “a joyous Christmas miracle,” while The New York Times writes “I was dazzled. You’d have to have a Grinch-sized heart not to feel a smile spreading across your face.”
