    The holidays in Philadelphia are not complete without Pennsylvania Ballet’s production of George Balanchine’s The Nutcracker! An enduring tradition now in its 42nd year, George Balanchine’s The Nutcracker boasts enchanting characters, lavish costumes and sets, world-class dancing and a heart-warming Tschaikovsky score complemented by the Philadelphia Boys Choir. Follow the adventures of Marie and her Prince as they battle the evil Mouse King and travel to the magnificent Land of the Sweets where the graceful Sugarplum Fairy reigns. Full of freshness and draped in decadence, George Balanchine’s The Nutcracker is powerful holiday season magic for the whole family, and a sure cure for any Grinches in your midst!
