Debbie Allen brings her Dance Academy's popular adaptation of the classic dance tale to the Redondo Beach Performing Arts Center. The show has become a local holiday classic directed, choreographed by, and starring the unstoppable Ms. Allen.
In this retelling, "Kara" is gifted a nutcracker filled with hot chocolate, and drifts off to sleep as the nutcracker comes alive. The narrative falls to three wisecracking mice who travel to dazzling lands during this energetic adventure.
Kara's journey takes her from the enchanting Rainforest, to Bollywood, to China, each stop adding its own unique flavor to the storytelling, with a few special guests joining this year.
