Matthew Bourne's Nutcracker!

With family-sized helpings of Matthew Bourne鈥檚 wit, pathos and magical fantasy, Nutcracker! follows Clara鈥檚 bittersweet journey from an orphanage through a shimmering, ice-skating winter wonderland.

With family-sized helpings of Matthew Bourne鈥檚 trademark wit, pathos and magical fantasy, Nutcracker! follows Clara鈥檚 bittersweet journey from a darkly comic Christmas Eve at Dr Dross鈥檚 Orphanage through a shimmering, ice-skating winter wonderland to the scrumptious candy kingdom of Sweetieland, influenced by the lavish Hollywood musicals of the 1930s.

Tchaikovsky鈥檚 glorious score and Anthony Ward鈥檚 newly refreshed delectable sets and costumes combine with Bourne鈥檚 dazzling choreography to create a fresh and charmingly irreverent interpretation of the classic.
