Tchaikovsky’s classic Nutcracker score gets a full hip hop makeover in this touring production, where a live DJ and a crew of sharp contemporary dancers spin the holiday ballet into something fresh and fun. Since its 2014 debut in Washington, the show has earned strong buzz for its clever mashup of two American traditions. Catch it when the tour hits Columbus this year.
