The Hip Hop Nutcracker

The Hip Hop Nutcracker at Fabulous Fox Theatre - St. Louis

Tchaikovsky never sounded quite like this on your holiday playlist. The Hip Hop Nutcracker pairs Tchaikovsky's music with contemporary dance, and the result is a night built on contrast: classic and current, familiar and surprising. If your December plans have started to feel like reruns, this is a fresh reason to get out of the house and see something live at the Fabulous Fox Theatre in St. Louis.

The production's billing adds even more personality. A DJ, a violinist and MC Kurtis Blow are named with the show, which signals an evening that is not content to stay inside one musical lane. That mix is the draw. You get the pull of a beloved composer, the movement of contemporary dance and a few unexpected names sharing the same night. Come curious, and leave with a story that beats another night on the couch.
