George Balanchine’s The Nutcracker
November 24, 2023, 1:00 pm –December 31, 2023, 9:30 pm
Suggested Ages: 6 to 14+, Adult Friendly
Experience the lavish New York City Ballet Nutcracker that started it all in 1954, featuring exquisite costumes, magnificent sets and top-notch dance talent. See twirling snowflakes, leaping candy canes, waltzing flowers, and so much more to Tchaikovsky’s iconic score (played live by a full orchestra).
Pricey but priceless; wait until your kid is able to sit very still and quiet for the whole hours. Many of the audience members are grown ups who expect a quiet viewing experience.
