COLUMBUS, Ohio — A holiday dance mash-up show for the whole family is returning to Columbus later this year.

The production reimagines Tchaikovsky’s 130-year-old ballet as a contemporary holiday dance spectacle with hip-hop pioneer Kurtis “The Breaks” Blow performing as the show’s MC.

Just like the original, Maria-Clara and the Nutcracker Prince go on a dream adventure battling a gang of mice, visiting the land of sweets and learning the lessons of the holiday season. 

Digital graffiti and visuals transform the beloved story from traditional 19th-century Germany to the vibrant, diverse sights and sounds of contemporary New York City.

Tickets start at $38 and are on sale now. They can be purchased at the CBUSArts Ticket Center at the Ohio Theatre, online at www.capa.com or www.CBUSArts.com and by phone at (614) 469-0939.
