A CHRISTMAS CAROL

November 19 - December 26, 2021

Wolf Theatre

Tickets start at $35

Essential to the holiday season in Denver, A Christmas Carol is a joyous and opulent musical adaptation that traces money-hoarding curmudgeon Ebenezer Scrooge's triumphant overnight journey to redemption.

Based on Charles Dickens' classic novel, the DCPA Theatre Company's "blessedly exhilarating!" (Westword) production illuminates the meaning of the holiday season in a way that has resonated for generations.

THE HIP HOP NUTCRACKER

November 19-20, 2021

Buell Theatre

Tickets start at $25

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 like the original, in 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. 

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