Overview
Get in the holiday spirit with Nimbus Dance’s Jersey Nutcracker. It’s a thrilling, jazzy new vision of Tchaikovsky’s ballet — with a New Jersey twist! Audiences of all ages will love the quirky story of two Jersey kids and their city adventure, filled with magic, battles with bullies and rats, stories of friendship and exquisite dancing.
Nimbus Dance performs Artistic Director Samuel Pott’s choreography against a dazzling backdrop of full-scale sets and animated projections of illustrated scenes, designed by Jersey City artists Laia Carbrera and Isabelle Duverger. With a delightful libretto co-written by Alysia Souder (The Institute for Music for Children) and Samuel Pott (Nimbus Artistic Director), Jersey Nutcracker transports you through classic New Jersey landscapes — parks, bustling streets, back alleys, sewers and City Hall — with surprises, cheer and a message of hope and resilience along the way.
