The Ballet Palm Beach production of  The Nutcracker will feature 18 professional dancers and character artists, along with 59 students from Ballet Palm Beach Academy. This is the second time the dance company will present this grandly re-imagined production that reviewers hailed as “an extraordinary show” (Michelle Wright, What’s Trending Palm Beach) and “a repeat favorite at the holidays” (Greg Stepanich, Palm Beach ArtsPaper).

After a successful premiere last year, I am excited to present our Nutcracker this season,” says Smith. “This timeless and much-loved ballet matches the incredible talent of Palm Beach County’s professional ballet dancers to a magnificent venue and creates a memorable holiday tradition for audiences of all ages.”

Ballet Palm Beach leaps into the season with holiday classic, The Nutcracker, the coming-of-age story of Marie who receives a mysterious gift on Christmas Eve. Adventures ensue as Tchaikovsky’s score draws Marie into a terrifying battle with the Mouse King, past a mystical snowstorm, and to the prince’s Enchanted Kingdom.
