A Magical Holiday Adventure Is Calling!
When Clara and Fritz sneak downstairs to rescue their childhood favorites from the donation bin, a little holiday magic shrinks them and sends them on a wild adventure through San Francisco. Along the way, they’ll meet a rat-wrangling sheriff, a mysterious Pinball Wizard, a crew of Barbies and Kens, and plenty of unexpected friends.
As they search for a way home, Clara learns that she doesn’t need the latest trends to be herself, while Fritz discovers that it’s okay to let people know when he’s overwhelmed. And with a little help from the audience, they’ll learn that the greatest magic of all is friendship.
You’ll waltz! You’ll march! You’ll pirouette! You’ll sing along! Through it all, you’ll enjoy music from The Nutcracker ballet, Toy Story, Barbie, and other fun childhood favorites, performed live by the 75-piece San Francisco Pride Band, the Official Band of San Francisco!
Part comedy musical, part dance-it-yourself ballet, and part symphonic concert, the Dance-Along Nutcracker features the holiday fun and tradition you’ve come to expect from this San Francisco favorite of more than 40 years.
