The Nutcracker

Urzua Queens Center of Performing Arts brings to you The Nutcracker “Twist." This is a classic holiday story where a dream comes to life and magic happens on stage. Kids on Christmas, enchanted lands, and exciting characters make this story great for the whole family. In this version, we add a twist that includes rhythms from around the world mixed with the Tchaikovsky’s original music we love.
