Choreographed by Keith Michael, NYTB’s The Nutcracker is geared to young children, aged 3+. This hour-long production features a time-bending clock, a luminous owl, and the enchanting and cherished characters that audiences have delighted in year after year. NYTB’s The Nutcracker features set designs by Gillian Bradshaw-Smith, and costumes by Sylvia Taalsohn Nolan, Resident Costume Designer for the Metropolitan Opera. “The production is especially irresistible,” The New York Times.
