    Why You Should Watch Nutcracker

    Arguably one of the most famous ballets in the world, Nutcracker has captivated audiences of all ages for over a century. Choreographed and reimagined by the prolific Wayne Eagling, this English National Ballet production features an impressive cast of over 100 of the company’s most accomplished dancers. From the ‘Waltz of Flowers’ to the final pas de deux, Tchaikovsky’s sublime score brilliantly complements the choreography. The show features design by Peter Farmer and lighting by David Richardson. Tickets to Nutcracker at London Coliseum are now available for booking!

    The Story

    On a festive Christmas Eve in London, a girl named Clara receives a Nutcracker doll as a present from a mysterious family friend named Dr. Drosselmeyer. The house descends into an eerie stillness as the guests leave and the children go to bed. When the clock strikes twelve, the young girl’s world transforms along with her Nutcracker, who turns into a dashing prince. Together, Clara and the Nutcracker battle the evil Mouse King, visit the Land of Snow, and travel to the mystical Puppet Theatre in a hot-air balloon. Book tickets to Nutcracker at London Coliseum and go watch this masterpiece with your kids and your entire family.

    My experiance with Headout was good. I did have to e-mail to ask for my printable vouchers, the response was immediate and it was a relief. A reminder nearer the time of the show would be good.

    The entire experience was magical! The orchestra, the story, the dancing, the costumes, I loved it all. The bar even had signature Nutcracker cocktails! I would definitely go again.
