The Nutcracker
the Legend of the Sugarplum FAIRY
Adapted from the original story by josh jordan
Music by josh jordan

The Mouse Queen sits depressed & alone within the kingdom of Wall. Drosselmeyer the toymaker wants revenge for his imprisoned father! Prince Peppermint from the Land of Sweets is too cool to be aware of any danger but luckily for him the Sugarplum Fairy has the perfect magic spell to set things right! Gingerbread crumbs fall all over the floor in this new adaptation of the classic story & ballet. Set to a disco soundtrack & staged as a choreo-dance piece, this will quickly become your new holiday favorite!
