THE QUINTESSENTIAL NEW YORK CITY HOLIDAY EXPERIENCE, GEORGE BALANCHINE’S THE NUTCRACKER® WHISKS AWAY CHILDREN AND ADULTS ALIKE WITH TSCHAIKOVSKY’S IMMORTAL SCORE.

All 90 dancers, 62 musicians, 40 stagehands, and more than 125 children in two alternating casts from the School of American Ballet join forces to make each performance as magical as possible.
Audiences of all ages are sure to be captivated by the lure of Tchaikovsky’s music, Balanchine’s choreography, Karinska’s sumptuous costumes, and Rouben Ter-Arutunian’s magical sets.
