The Nutcracker at Long Beach Performing Arts Center

With life-sized dancing dolls, a 40-foot dragon, 80 ballet dancers outfitted in sparkling costumes and Tchaikovsky's timeless score, Inland Pacific Ballet's performance of The Nutcracker will enchant and amaze the entire family. This annual holiday ballet tells the story of a young girl named Clara who receives a magical nutcracker doll one Christmas Eve and sets out on a wondrous journey to the Land of the Snow and the Kingdom of Sweets. The Arcadia Performing Arts Center is the perfect place to experience this much-beloved production that always dazzles with its battling mice, dancing snowflakes, waltzing flowers and the delightful Sugar Plum Fairy.
