George Balanchine’s The Nutcracker®
Dec 12 - Dec 28, 2025Miami’s Sweetest Holiday Experience!
George Balanchine’s The Nutcracker® returns to transform the Magic City into a holiday adventure like no other—this is your passport to magic. The festive fun begins the moment you arrive: an immersive pre-show experience welcomes you to the Land of Sweets, setting the stage for an unforgettable journey you’ll cherish year after year.
Then, the real magic takes flight. Over 100 dazzling dancers, a live orchestra, and stunning stagecraft bring the magic of Tchaikovsky’s beloved score to life. Picture swirling snowflakes, the shimmering Sugarplum Fairy, and a tropical take on wintertime wonder—all unfolding in a burst of color and joy. And yes, even in sunny South Florida, we make it snow!
This is the holiday tradition you can’t miss—sunshine, sparkle, and spectacular performances, only in Miami.
