Ballet Academy of Missouri Presents The Nutcracker

The Ballet Academy of Missouri is bringing its first-ever production of The Nutcracker to the Folly Theater this fall. This classic holiday story comes to life with professional sets and costumes, live orchestral music by Tchaikovsky, and a mix of guest dancers and young performers from the academy. Audiences will follow Clara's journey through a magical Christmas party, a toy soldier battle, a snowy landscape, and the magical Kingdom of Sweets. The production aims to create a full theatrical experience from the moment you walk through the doors. Tickets range from $45 to $75. If you're looking for a traditional holiday outing that combines beautiful dancing with familiar storytelling, this could become your family's new seasonal tradition.
