Step into a world of twinkling lights, ticking clocks, and toys that might just come to life… Follow young Marie as she’s swept from her family’s festive parlour into an enchanting adventure, where she must journey through a magical land of sweets, face the fearsome Mouse King, and join forces with a brave Nutcracker in the battle of a lifetime. Expect dancing (not always by ballerinas), magical transformations, and a generous helping of nutty humour — all wrapped up in a glorious score by Patrick Stockbridge, with live music and toe-tapping tunes.
