Finally, a Nutcracker made for Wiggly Kids
You know the story. You love the music. But this time? Clara and her friends sing—new songs your kids will hum all December, woven with the Tchaikovsky melodies you already adore. It's the Nutcracker that keeps little ones glued to their seats (and gives you goosebumps too).

Songs They'll Sing All the Way Home
Brand-new music by acclaimed Canadian composer David Warrack and script & lyrics by award-winning writer Richard Ouzounian, woven seamlessly with the Tchaikovsky classics you grew up with. Catchy, heartfelt, and so singable. (Yes, you'll have "Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy" stuck in your head. Keep singing.)
A World Where Toys Come Alive (For Real)
Watch your kids' faces light up as they soar on a toy airplane, float in a hot-air balloon over snowy forests, and skip across candy-coloured clouds.
Massive projections and jaw-dropping sets pull them into the story—not just watching it, but living it.
