Clara and Fritz can barely contain their excitement, but their constant squabbling is threatening to burst the holiday bubble. Banished to bed for their bratty behaviour, the siblings drift into a restless sleep and suddenly their world transforms.
Join us in the dazzling Toy Kingdom that bursts with colour and courage. And danger. The wicked Mouse King is spreading havoc across the realm and Clara and Fritz must rise to the challenge to save the day.
A breath-taking adventure packed with epic battles, enchanted lands and heart-stopping bravery, The Nutcracker: Magic and Mischief has a sprinkle of magic and a dash of mischief, on a journey beyond your wildest dreams. Featuring original songs from award-winning Composer and Musical Director Ashton Moore, that'll have you leaving the theatre singing.
Find the true meaning of Christmas. Side by side. Hand in hand.
