Frisch’s Big Boy Presents The Nutcracker
Nov. 14-24 at Music Hall
The nationally-celebrated holiday tradition returns to Music Hall after 11 years! Embark on a journey with Clara and her Nutcracker Prince, and follow the Snow Queen and her King to the Land of Sweets, where the Sugar Plum Fairy and Cavalier are waiting to embrace you with treats and exotic celebrations. {For even more fun, check out the Nutcracker Luncheon at Music Hall on Dec. 16!}
Cinderella
Dec. 15-17 at the Taft Theatre
For the holidays, TCT will treat audiences to a Cinderella Christmas. In this hilarious holiday panto, you’ll jeer at the deliciously dysfunctional stepmother and sisters as much as you’ll cheer for Cinderella in her quest to attend the magnificent Christmas Ball.
