About
"Reworked, refreshed and remarkably vibrant"
The Times
With family-sized helpings of
Bourne’s
trademark wit, pathos and magical fantasy,
Nutcracker!
follows Clara’s bittersweet journey from a darkly comic Christmas Eve at Dr. Dross’ Orphanage, through a shimmering, ice-skating winter wonderland to the scrumptious candy kingdom of Sweetieland, influenced by the lavish Hollywood musicals of the 1930’s.
Tchaikovsky’s
glorious score and
Anthony Ward’s
delectable sets and costumes combine with
Bourne’s
dazzling choreography to create a fresh and charmingly irreverent interpretation of the classic. Expect a sprinkling of delicious new surprises in this reinvented production for 2021.
