“Behind Ms. Gasteyer’s facade is a strong singing voice that can stir up quite a storm.”
–The New York Times
“Ana Gasteyer has serious vocal chops!”

A holiday season isn’t complete without a performance of the classic Nutcracker. The FREE, one – hour ballet is set to Tchaikovsky’s score, and dancers from the New York Theatre Ballet will grace the stage at Brookfield Place. The choreography is led by New York Theatre Ballet choreographer, Keith Michael and is set in an Art Nouveau-style circa 1907.
