About the 2024 Show
In Mission: Nutcracker, the grand prize for the Stahlbaum family’s Holiday Talent Show was stolen, and junior detective Clara and spy-in-training Fritz took the case. Audiences followed them as they tracked clues, questioned suspects, and dodged spy traps to find the culprit and recover the stolen trophy, the Golden Nutcracker.
Audiences waltzed, marched, pirouetted, and sang along to music from The Nutcracker, performed live by the 75-piece San Francisco Pride Band, the Official Band of San Francisco, at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts Forum.
About Dance-Along Nutcracker
Dance-Along Nutcracker® is San Francisco’s joyful, interactive holiday show where live music, theatre, and playful audience participation come together for a family-friendly celebration.
Produced by the San Francisco Pride Band, the Official Band of San Francisco, Dance-Along Nutcracker blends Tchaikovsky’s Nutcracker Suite with Broadway, pop, movie, and contemporary favorites. Each year, the 75-piece band performs an all-new musical theatre storyline filled with big characters, humor, choreographed dance numbers, and plenty of chances for the audience to join the fun.
When the “Dance Along!” cue appears, the whole theatre becomes a tutu-filled dance floor for kids and adults.
This one-of-a-kind Bay Area holiday tradition welcomes all ages — whether you dance center stage or enjoy the spectacle from your seat. To check showtimes, purchase tickets, and learn more, visit DanceAlongNutcracker.org.
