A Nutty Nutcracker Christmas

Apollo Theater
2540 N. Lincoln Ave. Chicago

Taking its source material from ETA Hoffman's tale and the famous ballet, A Nutty Nutcracker Christmas remixes the story for a whole new generation of theatergoers. This new spin follows Fritz, a video game obsessed boy, and a heroic female Nutcracker as they chase down and stop the dastardly Mouse King from ruining Christmas. Suited for families with children ages 3 and up.

  Review Round-Up

Steadstyle Chicago - Highly Recommended

"...Director/Choreographer Ernie Nolan used the small stage of the Apollo to the best advantage making sure that all three sides of audience were able to see the actors. Katie Schweiger's set is simple, but once again this is a kids show and they don't really care about spectacle. The action and music is far more important. Troy Baughman has just the right touch as Fritz, the brat who learns right from wrong during his visit to Christmas Wood. And the other cast members, Patrick Byrnes, Julia P Gordon, Lara Mainer, Daniel Riley and Melissa Harrison as the Nutcracker were all terrific and energetic, which is really important in keeping three to seven year olds interested. They do this to perfection."
