A New Holiday Tradition

Land of the Sweets: The Burlesque Nutcracker is the nation's first and only full-blown 1930s burlesque cabaret interpretation of the holiday classic.

Featuring the A-List of American burlesque stars, Land of the Sweets seamlessly marries traditional ballet, burlesque, and swing dance. A sizzling hot jazz soundtrack of Tchaikovsky's original score sets the tone for the swingin'est wintertime party since the end of prohibition.

Racy but never quite raunchy, this show takes us to a fantastic, far-away locale where the characters of the Nutcracker live and play in their off-time. While prim and proper on the music hall stage, these characters have quite a different demeanor in their private lives, and as the party unfolds, we see the famous Nutcracker characters bare almost all with flair and glamour.

2009: We're All Yours, Seattle!

Due to the incredible demand of Seatte audiences, we have elected to expand our hometown run rather than tour again this season. Last year we successfully took the show for the first time to fabulous Chicago. As our national fame has grown, our plans for expanded touring have too, but this year, we're all yours, Seattle!
