About The Nutcracker
At midnight on Christmas Eve, Clara creeps downstairs – and is instantly swept away into an enchanting winter wonderland of dancing snowflakes, magical Christmas trees and a Sugar Plum Fairy…
Sir Peter Wright’s classic production of this timeless ballet returns to Birmingham Hippodrome following an extensive rebuild of John Macfarlane’s exquisite sets, funded in large part by generous audience support through the Big Give.
Running Time: 2 hours 10 minutes
Tickets for Under-16s
Young people can watch The Nutcracker for as little as £15.25 with our Family Offer. Available at Tuesday to Friday performances*, Under-16s tickets pay half the price of an accompanying full-price paying adult.
