Westside Ballet's annual, lavish production of Tchaikovsky's The Nutcracker, the longest-running Nutcracker production in SoCal,  returns beginning Thanksgiving weekend for eight public performances at BroadStage.

Young dancers and a full orchestra share the story of Clara, a girl who receives a nutcracker for Christmas and is transported to a magical world of sugarplum fairies and villainous mice.

The Westside production features over 85 dancers, 225 costumes, and four lavishly designed scenes that have been updated over the years with new backdrops and accouterments, but still retains the most beloved traditional characters and iconic moments - including the tree that grows, a firing cannon, and falling snow over a stunning corps de ballet.

Performances are at 1pm and 5pm on Saturdays and Sundays.
