This best-loved holiday classic enthralls young and old with a delightful twist in the tale this year, snow falling from the sky, magical stage effects and exquisite costuming and story-telling to the unforgettable classical music score by P. Tchaikovsky. The story tells of a young girl who falls deeply in love with the nutcracker doll given to her by her grandfather, the fabulous magician, Dr. Drosselmyer. The party with family and friends is enjoyed by everyone. Marie tries to protect her beloved toy from her jealous brother but, alas, the evening is horribly spoilt by his actions. Scary mice appear at midnight and a battle ensues between a Giant Rat King and the Nutcracker. Incredibly, her beloved toy comes to life as the handsome Cavalier Prince, and they are transported through the glittering snow to the Kingdom of the Sweets.
