Directed and choreographed by Jennifer Weber,a??The Hip Hop Nutcrackera??recorded live at the New Jersey Performing Arts Center is a contemporary dance spectacle set to Tchaikovsky's timeless music. A unique and joyful event, this evening-length production is performed by a supercharged cast of a dozen all-star dancers, a DJ, a violinist, and MC Kurtis Blow, one of hip hop's founding fathers, who opens the show with a short set.

Just likea??the original, ina??The Hip Hop Nutcracker, Maria-Clara and the Nutcracker Prince go on a dream adventure battling a gang of mice, visiting the land of sweets and learning the lessons of the holiday season. Innovative digital graffiti and visuals transform the landscape of E.T.A. Hoffmann's beloved story from traditional 19th Century Germany to the vibrant, diverse sights and sounds of contemporary New York City.a??

Through this re-mixed and re-imagined version of the classic, the dynamic performers ofa??The Hip Hop Nutcrackera??take us on a journey that celebrates love, community and the magic of the holiday season.

"Now that we're almost eight months into the shutdown of the performing arts across the United States during this global pandemic, the industry is rising to the challenge with more high-quality exclusive live streaming opportunities," said Jody Grant, Programming and Marketing Director at Alberta Bair Theater. "I am continuing to curate content to add variety to people's screen time during the pandemic and to keep artists working, even in this digital format, and provide very limited box office revenue to ABT."
