Nutcracker Sweets at Maui OnStage

For the 5th year, Momentum Dance Maui and Maui OnStage collaborate on this beloved holiday family classic!

Be whisked away with Clara on her magical adventure through the enchanted Land of Sweets with Momentum Dance Maui's beloved rendition of The Nutcracker! Following a lively party at the Stahlbaum's annual Christmas gathering filled with dancing, surprises, and gifts, Clara falls asleep beside her new Nutcracker doll and dreams of a fantastical world filled with dancing snowflakes. She is led to the Land of Sweets where she is greeted by the Sugar Plum Fairy, enchanted by characters from faraway places like China, Spain, Arabia, and Russia, and mesmerized by the Waltz of the Flowers and Dew Drop Fairy. After an extraordinary celebration, everyone gathers to say goodbye as Clara journeys back home.
