"...the Zenon dancers offer up a sweet holiday treat for the little ones with a smash-up of the Mother Goose tales and the Nutcracker ballet."
–
City Pages
This imaginative version of The Nutcracker Suite features Mother Goose along with Jack and Jill, Wee Willie Winkie, Little Bo Peep, Mary and her lamb and other delightful nursery rhyme characters set to the captivating music of Tchaikovsky’s
Nutcracker. The story unfolds as Mother Goose’s favorite characters unwrap the gifts she has left for them under the Christmas tree: magic dancing slippers that enable them to dance their stories. A lesson about the pleasure of giving, the joy of sharing and the wonders of dance!
Suitable for all ages, especially 4-104 years.
