Nut/Cracked — The Bang Group’s beloved, witty response to The Nutcracker — has enthralled audiences for more than two decades.

Nut/Cracked takes its inspiration from all corners of the dance canon, from tap riffs to en pointe ballet, by way of bubble wrap, disco and take-out noodles. In Nut/Cracked, choreographer David Parker finds beauty in the ridiculous waltzing us through many incarnations of Tchaikovsky’s score including versions by Duke Ellington and Glenn Miller as well as the familiar orchestral suite. You’ll never watch The Nutcracker in quite the same way again!

“Mr. Parker’s piece is not only immensely entertaining but also intensely musical and witty, melding tap, disco, ballet and contemporary dance over 22 scenes that combine fantasy and silliness to marvelous effect.” — Roslyn Sulcas, The New York Times

“… a passionate declaration of naïveté in the best sense: innocence regained.” —Alastair Macaulay, The New York Times.
