Davenport’s Adler Theatre will host “The Hip Hop Nutcracker” for one show at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 27.
Described as a family-friendly, holiday mash-up and contemporary holiday dance spectacle, it has performed more than 250 times in 70 cities and brings a modern twist to Tchaikovsky’s 130-year-old ballet. It features a powerhouse cast of a dozen all-star dancers, an on-stage DJ, and an electric violinist.
Tickets can be purchased at the Adler Theatre Box Office from Monday to Friday (10 a.m. to 5 p.m.) or online at www.ticketmaster.com. Please note, the Adler Theatre Box Office has been temporarily relocated across the street in the RiverCenter due to renovations.
“The Hip Hop Nutcracker” is directed, choreographed, and co-created by Jennifer Weber, an Emmy winner and two-time Tony and Olivier award-nominee who also choreographed the international hit musical “& Juliet,” currently playing on Broadway. Executive producing is three-time Tony winner and two-time Olivier award-winning producer Eva Price, whose productions have garnered six Olivier Awards, two GRAMMY Awards, two Emmy Awards, and 19 Tony Awards.
Just like the original, Maria-Clara and the Nutcracker Prince go on a dream adventure battling a gang of mice, visiting the land of sweets, and learning the lessons of the holiday season.
Innovative digital graffiti and visuals transform the landscape of E.T.A. Hoffmann’s beloved story from traditional 19th century Germany to the vibrant, diverse sights and sounds of contemporary New York City.
