Tchaikovsky’s ballet masterpiece The Nutcracker gets a fresh hip-hop remix as Peninsula Lively Arts brings the holiday favorite into the distant future. In this delightful re-imagination, Clara celebrates the holidays with her friends at her Victorian Scotland home. When she falls into a deep sleep, she is transported to the enchanted realm of Hip-Hop Land, where she encounters a mysterious wizard and the Sugar Plum Tribe. Pirouettes are replaced with popping, and Tchaikovsky’s iconic score gets a modern mashup in this innovative spin. Featuring national all-star dancers plus The Tribe and Poise’n, The Hip-Hop Nutcracker dazzles young and old at The San Mateo Performing Arts Center.
