Colorado Ballet: The Nutcracker
Ellie Caulkins Opera House

This year marks 56 years of the Nutcracker at the Colorado Ballet. Joined by the Colorado Ballet Orchestra, we’re excited to see what changes and new twists they have in store.
The Hip Hop Nutcracker
Buell Theater
Opening Night: November 20
When hip-hop meets ballet, you get a marvelous performance that combines the elegant score of Tchaikovsky’s Nutcracker and Hip Hop beats. The story has been moved to New Year’s Eve, the mouse army has been replaced with a mouse-eared gang, a humble nut seller is the one who saves the day, the Land of Sweets has been transformed into a nightclub trapped in 1985, and Pirouettes have been changed to floor windmills. This show is truly a modernized classic. Check out these clips from last year's performance.

Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer
Buell Theater
Opening Night: December 16
Based on the 1964 extremely loved animated special, this rendition brings the classic claymation characters to life! Rudolph was first turned into a live action musical by Jeff Frank and Chicago’s First Stage in 2013. It seems the show is becoming as much of a tradition as the classic animation.
