"The Hip Hop Nutcracker"

In this production, Tchaikovsky's classic score gets a new twist: rather than the classic ballet, the story is animated by lively hip hop routines. Jennifer Weber, who snagged Tony and Olivier Award nominations for her work on & Juliet, directs and choreographs this production. Act quickly, though, because The Hip Hop Nutcracker hits The National Theatre for one weekend only (December 20-22).
