Tulsa Ballet presents the Nutcracker

The Nutcracker presented by the Tulsa Ballet runs from December 11 through the 23rd this year. This exciting Broadway production is great for the whole family. I took my boys, now in their late twenties, when they were in grade school. I thought they would get bored, but they were mesmerized and sat still in their seats for the whole thing. Now when they or I hear the haunting melodies from the Nutcracker it brings back wonderful memories.
This year's performance sounds spectacular with difficult choreography and stunning visuals with a nod to Tulsa's Art Deco heritage. 120 local children and dance students will play mice, toy soldiers and children at a party. The story is set in 1920 Paris and soloist Soo Youn Cho is making her debut in the lead role. One of the ballerina's in the 2nd company has parents that stay at our Tulsa bed and breakfast for all her performances.
An evening spent at the Tulsa PAC for the Nutcracker and the night spent at the Inn at Woodward Park with breakfast in bed the next morning would be a magical early Christmas gift.
