16th Annual Nutcracker on the Rocks
November 30-December 2, 2012
Shira Greenberg’s Nutcracker on the Rocks is an original rock-n-roll rendition of the classical holiday tale, incorporating the music of James Brown, Aretha Franklin, The Rolling Stones, and Janis Joplin. It also includes the roaring excitement of a Harley Davidson on stage. The story comes to life with dancers of all ages, experience levels and physical abilities dancing alongside Keshet’s professional repertory dancers and guest artists.
“Keshet’s delightfully different ‘Nutcracker’ is a must see…it’s downright wonderful…fresh and powerful…one of the best in the United States.”
