The all-time family favorite with beautiful dancing, sets and costumes is here again! Everyone needs a hero, and in this case she’s a girl. Clara saves the Nutcracker prince, and to thank her he brings her on a magical journey to the Kingdom of the Sweets, where the exquisite Sugar Plum Fairy puts on a regal show. Tradition, beauty, grace, and a terrific story — what more can you ask for. Sheer Magic! Family friendly.
