Men In Tutus present: The Nutcracker

Get your planners at the ready because this is an event that will make your holiday season that much better. Gardner & Wife Theatre brings back the all-male comedy ballet troupe, Men in Tutus, who enthralled audience with their version of Swan Lake two years ago, to liven up the stage with their hilarious version of The Nutcracker. A combination of both classical and contemporary ballet, the show will feature music by Tchaikovsky, (some) choreography by Petipa, (a bit more) by Balanchine, and a lot more by Victor Trevino.

A short summary of the show: “When midnight strikes, young Clara’s enchanted gift of a nutcracker leads her into a wondrous world… with the valiant Nutcracker Soldier at her side, Clara journeys to the Land of Snow and the Kingdom of Sweets. There, the Sugar Plum Fairy bids everyone to dance in her honour. And dance they do!”

Join in the fun come November and December, and enjoy the best of both worlds with the beauty of ballet and excitement of live theatre.
