Synopsis

The legend of the wonderful Nutcracker is now available in this captivating play. At a gala Christmas Eve party, Clara's godfather presents her with an amazing Nutcracker in the form of a wooden soldier. Too excited to sleep, she suddenly finds the Nutcracker brought to life. He tells her he is a prince under the wicked enchantment of the Mouse King, and she joins him in a series of adventures in strange lands as he seeks to regain his throne. When she wakes, she finds the Nutcracker gone. Was it a dream or not? Then her godfather returns with his nephew—who just happens to look exactly like the prince! This charming play may be enhanced with dances to the music of Tchaikovsky.

Customer Reviews

This is a good play for a beginning high school drama class. It is fun and has plenty of opportunity for kids to work on basics.

Joe Mishler, Holly High School, Holly, Mich.

This was a great rendition of the classic piece. Our audiences thoroughly enjoyed it. Perfect for younger audiences.

Richard Klassen, Candlewick Productions, La Riviere, Manitoba, Canada

This show broke records for us. It ran before winter break, and we sold out every performance well in advance. Families were thrilled to see this comprehensible, audience-friendly version of the classic ballet.

Karin Richey, Palo Alto Children's Theatre, Palo Alto, Calif.

Fantastic show! Easy costuming and set concepts, story is exciting for casts to perform and memorable for audiences to watch.

AJ Prawitz, St. James High School, St. James, Mo.

What a great show to do with actors and dancers. The play lends itself to several dance numbers in the show!

Omar Leos, Thomas Edison High School, San Antonio, Texas
