Set in 1920s America, Kremnevâs Nutcracker is reported to be a fresh, albeit more traditional take on the beloved holiday staple than other recent incarnations. Reflective of a choreographic style The Huffington Post has heralded as âelectricâ and âechoing with audiences of all ages,â Kremnev says audiences can expect a joyous celebration, filled with fast-paced action, eye-popping colors and a dash of humor.
