THE HIP HOP NUTCRACKER—Streaming Holiday Dance Spectacle
THE HIP HOP NUTCRACKER
Recorded Live at the New
Jersey Performing Arts Center, The Hip Hop Nutcracker is a holiday
mash-up for the entire family.
Directed and choreographed by Olivier nominated
Jennifer Weber, The Hip Hop Nutcracker is a contemporary dance spectacle
set to Tchaikovskyʼs timeless music. A unique and joyful event, this
evening-length production is performed by a supercharged cast of a dozen
all-star dancers, a DJ, a violinist, and MC Kurtis Blow, one of hip hopʼs
founding fathers, who opens the show with a short set.
Just like the original, in The Hip Hop Nutcracker, 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. Innovative
digital graffiti and visuals transform the landscape of E.T.A. Hoffmannʼs
beloved story from traditional 19th Century Germany to the vibrant, diverse
sights and sounds of contemporary New York City.
Through this re-mixed and re-imagined version of the classic, the dynamic
performers of The Hip Hop Nutcracker take us on a journey that
celebrates love, community and the magic of the holiday season.
Produced by NJPAC and Eva Price. Directed and Choreographed by Jennifer Weber
