The Hip Hop Nutcracker at United Palace Theatre

Pirouettes are replaced with popping, and Tchaikovsky's iconic score gets remixed with live hip-hop interludes by DJ Boo and legendary rapper Kurtis Blow in this streetwise reimagining of the ballet masterpiece, The Nutcracker. Set in 1980s Washington Heights (and at times in a nightclub), this innovative rendition puts a jolt into the holiday classic with a supercharged cast of all-star dancers, breathtaking digital scenery and an onstage electric violinist. Following its successful sold-out tour across the United States and Russia, you won't want to miss out on all the fun as this new Yuletide classic comes to United Palace Theatre in New York City.
