NYTB at NewYork Presbyterian/Morgan Stanley Children’s Hospital

New York Theatre Ballet will delight children with the beloved classic Keith Michael’s The Nutcracker at NewYork-Presbyterian/Morgan Stanley Children’s Hospital Wintergarden, 3959 Broadway (at 165th St), NYC at noon on Monday, December 22, 2014. For some patients, this performance will be their first ballet viewing experience.

From clockwork imps to mice dressed in polka dots and dancers dancing with huge chopsticks, this timeless, re-imagined classic bursts with energy and excitement. This holiday ballet, danced to Tchaikovsky’s beloved score, is set in Art Nouveau style circa 1907 with innovative choreography by long-time NYTB choreographer, Keith Michael; set design by Gillian Bradshaw-Smith; and costumes by Resident Costume Designer of the Metropolitan Opera, Sylvia Nolan.
