Adapted for young audiences by Barbara Zinn Krieger and choreographed by Melissa Riker,
NYCCT’s hit dance theater production returns to Theatre Row this holiday season!

My First Nutcracker is a 50-minute dance-theater piece best for ages 3-8
Clara Marie, The Mouse King, and other characters walk through the audience in the aisles during the show.
Audience members will be invited to dance with the performers during the show.
Tickets are required for all guests. Guests under the age of 2 may purchase a lap seat for $5 (cash only) from the box office on the performance day.
The performances on Sunday, December 11th at 2pm and Saturday, December 17th at 11am are sensory friendly performances.
