Audiences accompany young Clara on her Christmas Eve journey from a festive Victorian family parlor to a fierce midnight battle against the mischievous Mouse King, and onward through a magical, snow-covered forest to the Kingdom of the Sweets. Accompanied by a live symphony orchestra performing Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky’s timeless score, this sumptuous production features lavish sets, glittering costumes, the dazzling Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy, and an enormous, growing Christmas tree that enchants theatergoers of all ages.
