Ben Stevenson’s The Nutcracker

About

Christmas comes but once a year. Similarly, once a season, the Texas Ballet Theater trots out this crowd-pleasing classic. It's a new version this year, but it's still set to Tchaikovsky’s beautiful music—so don't freak out. Ben Stevenson's choreography promises to take you to a winter wonderland of anthropomorphic nutcrackers and spinny sugar plum fairies, with fresh costumes and at least one high-flying sleigh. Don’t miss TBT having a little fun at their own expense with The Nutty Nutcracker, a spoof on the original that the company will perform one night only as part of the overall run.
