New York Nutcracker on the big screen
4:48pm Thursday 15th December 2011 in Theatre
New York City Ballet comes to Vue Cinemas
Dazzling choreography from one of the foremost dance companies in the world, the New York City Ballet, will be screened at select Vue Cinemas this Christmas. The quintessential festive ballet, The Nutcracker features Tchaikovsky's incomparable score and more than 70 New York City Ballet dancers, a 62-piece New York City Ballet Orchestra and 50 children from the School of American Ballet are involved in bringing this enchanting tale to life.
George Balanchine’s lavish production boasts hundreds of spectacular costumes, breath-taking sets and fabulous lighting displays, plus a tree that magically grows and grows.
A rousing snowstorm sends a blizzard of ballerinas across the stage, sweeping you to exotic locales in the enchanting Land of Sweets. You’ll meet marching toy soldiers, little Marie and the valiant Nutcracker, who saves her from the villainous, seven-headed Mouse King.
The Nutcracker comes to: Watford Vue, North Orbital Road, Woodside Leisure Park, Garston and North Finchley Vue, Chaplin Square, Great North Leisure Park, Finchley.
Screenings at both venues take place on Thursday, December 22 and Tuesday, December 27, 2pm. Details: 08712 240 240, www.myvue.com
