renowned children's book author-illustrator MauriceSendak (Where the
Wild Things Are) to create this unique vision ofTchaikovsky's
Nutcracker. This Seattle holiday favorite will take its finalbows this
season after over three decades of making magic and memories.
Thedelightful and dramatic ballet tells the magical story of a young
girl whoreceives a nutcracker as a gift at her family's Christmas party.
That night shedreams that her nutcracker comes to life, and together
they experience a grandadventure that takes them through an epic battle
and a land of snow to the Landof Sweets. This lavish production features
over 200 dancers, a live orchestra,a tree that really grows,
magnificent costumes and sets, and an in-theatersnowfall at every
performance.”
