Keith Michael's The Nutcracker is Playing this December

The Marzipan flowers, the chocolate and the candy canes will be joining the Sugar Plum Fairy again this holiday season in another exquisite performance of Tchaikovsky’s The Nutcracker by the New York Theatre Ballet. The one-hour performance of the famous ballet is appropriate for kids ages three and up and is sure to please adults as well with jaw-dropping sets and costumes and talented performers of various ages.

New York Theatre Ballet (NYTB) returns for a sixth year of Keith Michael’s The Nutcracker, an enchanting holiday ballet. From clockwork imps to a luminous owl that flies above the audience, mice dressed in polka dots and dancers dancing with huge chopsticks, this timeless re-imagined classic bursts with energy and excitement. This holiday ballet, danced to Tchaikovsky’s beloved score, is set in Art Nouveau style circa 1907 with innovative choreography by long-time NYTB choreographer, Keith Michael, set design by Gillian Bradshaw-Smith, and costumes by Metropolitan Opera’s Resident Costume Designer Sylvia Taalsohn Nolan. This one-hour ballet is perfect for ages 3 and up!
