NUTCRACKER IN WONDERLAND

Join the Holiday Par-TEA as Ballet Co.Laboratory’s enchanting twist on a holiday classic returns to the stage! Nutcracker in Wonderland weaves together two timeless stories, The Nutcracker and Alice in Wonderland, for a kaleidoscopic meeting of magic and whimsy.

Jump down the rabbit hole for the most curious adventure of self-discovery. The beloved Tchaikovsky Nutcracker score takes on new meaning as Clara and Alice join forces to battle the Rat Queen, whirl through the Land of Snowflakes, and encounter Wonderland residents like the Mad Hatter, mischievous Cheshire Cat, perpetually tardy White Rabbit, and spiteful Queen of Hearts.
