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. Last year hundreds of families came out for this spectacular performance in a true holiday setting. Seating is limited, first come, first served so arrive early. And, dress the kids up in their holiday finest to take photos in front of the gorgeous luminaries and decorated holiday trees. The Winter Garden is a showstopper and a great photo backdrop.
