Nutcracker! the Musical
THE UNTOLD STORY OF THE NUTCRACKER! Generations of children were raised on the Nutcracker ballet, but though the ballet is pink and pretty, the ballet doesn’t even begin to tell the REAL story as was written by ETA Hoffman. NUTCRACKER! The Musical brings the tale to life as Hoffman meant to tell it. IT’S FUNNY! IT’S MAGICAL! IT’S DARK! IT’S ROMANTIC! AND IT EVEN HAS A MESSAGE! In short, it is everything a fairy tale should be.
It’s the tale of a beautiful princess who is turned hideous when she is victim of a spell cast by the Evil Mouse Queen. When the hero tries to save the Princess, the Mouse Queen once again summons her black magic to turn the handsome prince into an ugly wooden nutcracker for all eternity. The mystical Wizard Drosselmeir travels through time to rescue the young lad encased in wood. Finally, in contemporary America, Drosselmeir finds a teenage girl who has what it takes to break the spell.
