COLUMBUS, Ohio — A holiday dance mash-up show for the whole family is returning to Columbus later this year.
"The Hip Hop Nutcracker" is coming to the Palace Theatre for one show on Sunday, Nov. 24.
The production reimagines Tchaikovsky’s 130-year-old ballet as a contemporary holiday dance spectacle with hip-hop pioneer Kurtis “The Breaks” Blow performing as the show’s MC.
Just like the original, Maria-Clara and the Nutcracker Prince go on a dream adventure battling a gang of mice, visiting the land of sweets and learning the lessons of the holiday season.
Digital graffiti and visuals transform the beloved story from traditional 19th-century Germany to the vibrant, diverse sights and sounds of contemporary New York City.
Tickets start at $38 and are on sale now. They can be purchased at the CBUSArts Ticket Center at the Ohio Theatre, online at www.capa.com or www.CBUSArts.com and by phone at (614) 469-0939.
