THANKSGIVING WEEKEND: Experience the magic of Ballet Fantastique’s Christmas in Toyland.
Kickstart the season with a sparkling, jazz-infused holiday escape for the whole family! Ballet Fantastique’s blockbuster Christmas in Toyland invites you into a whimsical storybook world—where candycanes twirl, toys magically come to life, and the holiday spirit is under threat from the not-so-sweet Barnaby Barnacle, Lord of Licorice.
Set to the nostalgic swing of Duke Ellington’s big band Nutcracker and other holiday jazz classics, this dazzling original production features the international artists of Ballet Fantastique, with narration by young dreamer Twyla and her whimsical Gramps.
Playful, heartwarming, visually enchanting, nostalgic and new—it’s your family’s favorite holiday tradition at the Hult Center.
