In its 29th year of production, this year's performance features Jasmine Scott as Clara and Alex Marsh as the prince, with guest artist Donald Laney dancing as the Cavalier and Snow King.
 
Huntington Dance Theatre's "Nutcracker" is a lavish production involving parents and townspeople as party guests and includes the traditional growing Christmas tree, as well as the exciting battle between the Nutcracker Prince and the Mouse King and his troops.
 
You will be enchanted by the land of the Sugarplum Fairy dances and the Snow dance complete with snowfall is stunningly beautiful.
 
This is a holiday treat not to be missed.
