Set to Sergei Prokofiev's score, the production brings the whole cast of the fairy tale to the stage — Prince Charming, the evil stepsisters, the fairy godmother and the glass slipper — with the color and spectacle NJPAC compares to a Broadway show. NJPAC lists it in its Family genre for all ages; as a full-length ballet it suits children who can sit through a classical performance, and a 3 pm matinee keeps it manageable during the long school weekend. This is the same company that dances NJPAC's December Nutcracker, so it can be a second ballet for families who went then. Tickets are sold through NJPAC's Ticketmaster link; parking can be booked in advance. ## Similar picks in New York - [Keith Michael's The Nutcracker — New York Theatre Ballet at Kupferberg Center, Queens](https://grassyknees.com/new-york/activities/keith-michael-s-the-nutcracker-new-york-theatre-ballet-at-kupferberg-c--listing-abf7ecf930882576365a4af2) — Fri, Dec 4 · 7:00 PM · Colden Auditorium, Kupferberg Center for the Arts (Queens College), Flushing · Ages 3+ · From $25 · checked Oct 24.
