THE NUTCRACKER
A gift for everyone during the Holidays, our NUTCRACKER has become a yearly festive tradition for thousands of children and families throughout the Bay Area.

Hailed as “one of the most entertaining versions of Nutcracker anywhere in the country”, this treasured holiday classic returns for an extended run with full orchestra, stunning lobby decorations, and carolers and characters from the show meeting and greeting guests before every performance. This is a true, “Nutcracker Experience.”
