As you prepare for Thanksgiving, EXO is busily preparing for our first-ever Nutcracker Dance Party next week! In true EXO fashion, they have assembled an outrageously brilliant orchestra to perform the complete ballet in its full orchestration, so you will hear all of Tchaikovsk's gorgeous orchestral colors in all of their glory and mystery and magic. If you don't have tickets yet, now is the time! A perfect early Christmas gift, or a great way to start this holiday season with pure joy.
No ballet experience is necessary for this dance party, and if you would rather not dance, there are seats available either inside the orchestra, where the sound will surround you and embrace you, or off to the sides (if you'd prefer to be like Marie in the second act).
James says "we usually experience the Nutcracker as a beautiful, distant vision. For these two concerts, EXO invites you to lose yourself fully in the music, dancing to the Trepak and Sugarplum Fairies and more, letting yourself get swept up in Tchaikovsky's most famous ballet."
Holiday-themed attire and ballet costumes are welcome!
Both the adult-only (Thursday, November 30 at 8pm) and the family-friendly (Saturday, December 2 at 2:30pm) version of the concert offer an opportunity to get up close with the orchestra and dance to your heart's desire. The Thursday, November 30th concert offers a ticket package where you can sit INSIDE the orchestra, experiencing the music from within. Appropriate libations will be offered to further encourage carefree dancing.
Adult tickets: $40 for dancing-room or seats farther away, and $75 for prime seating.
Kid tickets: $25 for one, $45 for two, and $60 for three. (All children must be accompanied by an adult dancing companion.)
