## About

The touring Nutcracker! Magical Christmas Ballet stops at Smart Financial Centre in Sugar Land for one evening between Christmas and New Year's, a handy outing during winter break. The production bills itself as the largest Nutcracker in North America and mixes classical ballet by an international company with acrobatics, oversized puppets and elaborate costumes, all set to Tchaikovsky's score. It is a full-length evening theater show, so it suits children who can sit through a ballet; the puppets and acrobatic numbers help hold younger viewers' attention. Doors open an hour before curtain. On-site parking is paid and accessed via Taborwood Ave; arrive early to find seats.
