The Nutcracker Spectacular is the largest and longest running holiday production in Arkansas. Set to Tchaikovsky's paramount score, the production features live music by the Arkansas Symphony Orchestra and a cast and crew of nearly 400. This year’s performances will feature partial updates to choreography, sets, and costumes as part of the organization's Year 1 investment in the Nutcracker Project. Don't forget to explore Ballet Arkansas’s official Nutcracker Boutique, filled with plentiful holiday-themed merchandise in the lower lobby - open 1 hour prior to each performance. Meet Santa, The Nutcracker, the Sugar Plum Fairy, and other enchanting characters from the show at themed photo booths - and experience the heartwarming tradition of a live reading of "The Night Before Christmas" during the intermission of each performance.
