Created
especially for families with children ages four to ten, The Colonial
Nutcracker sets Tchaikovsky’s classic ballet in wintry colonial Yorktown
during the Revolutionary War. The production
features classics such as “Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy” and “Waltz of the Snowflakes,”
a red-coated mouse army, an enchanted nutcracker prince, and compelling
narration that will enhance young viewers’ understanding and enjoyment of this
timeless story. Rose Menes’ delightful
staging and choreography, coupled with colorful costumes and Tchaikovsky’s enduring
score, will captivate audiences of all ages.
