STAGE TUBE: Leigh Rhianon Coggins Sings 'The Land of the Sweets' from THE NUTCRACKER: THE MUSICAL

The music is by Pytor Ilyitch Tchaikovsky in a new arrangement by Bruce Keisling, Paul Rigano, and Robert Hazle. Lyrics are by Nancy Holson.

Nutcracker! The Musical takes the classic ETA Hoffmann tale and Tchaikovsky's soaring classical music - familiar to fans of The Nutcraker ballet - and gives them a thrilling moden twist, with enchanting new Musical Theatre arrangements and a book and lyrics by multiple Emmy Award winner Nancy Holson.

Nutcracker! The Musical, directed by Ollie Fielding, will get its world premiere in a four-week season at the Pleasance Theatre, London N1 from Tuesday 8 December to Sunday 3 January.

Nutcracker! The Musical is a story of magic, far away places, fairy tale kingdoms, of love, friendship, family and most importantly imagination. This fresh new look at the original Nutcracker story will enchant audiences of all ages. Generations of children were raised on The Nutcracker ballet, but though the ballet is a classic, do you know the real story of theNutcracker?

Teenage Marie is too old to play with dolls but there's something intriguing about the nutcracker given to her by her old Uncle Drosselmier. He seems lost in time. Long ago in the fairy tale kingdom of Chronenburg, the beautiful Princess Pirlipat has been magically disfigured by the evil Mouseyrinks, Queen of the Mice. King Wilhelm enlists the help of the mystical Royal Clockmaker to break the curse. Will a little magic and a lot of imagination be enough to discover the secret of thenutcracker and rescue the people of Chronenburg from the clutches of Mouseyrinks' spell?
