Matthew Bourne's
Nutcracker!
Tue 13 - Sat 17 May 2008
Tue - Sat 7.30pm
Thu & Sat 2.00pm
"A Dazzling Extravaganza"
- Sunday Telegraph
This delicious theatrical feast has family sized helpings of Matthew Bourne's trademark wit, pathos and magical fantasy. Nutcracker! follows Clara's bittersweet journey from a hilariously bleak Christmas Eve at Dr. Dross' Orphanage for waifs and strays, through a shimmering, ice-skating, winter wonderland to the scrumptious candy kingdom of Sweetieland.
Tchaikovsky's glorious score and Olivier award winning designer, Anthony Ward's unforgettable sets and costumes combine with sizzling choreography to create a fresh, hip and charmingly irreverent interpretation of the traditional favourite that will delight the whole family.
"Witty and wonderful"
- The Guardian
"Absolutely sensational, ecstatically wonderful"
