New Adventures has announced extensive dates for 2020/21 UK and Ireland tour of Matthew Bourne’s Nutcracker!, which opens at Theatre Royal Plymouth on Monday 16 November 2020 ahead of a Christmas Season at Sadler’s Wells from Tuesday 8 December 2020 to Sunday 24 January 2021.
The tour then continues until May 2021, visiting a total of 17 venues across the UK and Ireland.
The sweetest of all Matthew Bourne’s treats returns for the first time in nine years; it’s a Nutcracker! for all seasons.
With family-sized helpings of Bourne’s trademark wit, pathos and magical fantasy, Nutcracker! follows Clara’s bittersweet journey from a darkly comic Christmas Eve at Dr. Dross’ Orphanage, through a shimmering, ice-skating winter wonderland to the scrumptious candy kingdom of Sweetieland, influenced by the lavish Hollywood musicals of the 1930s.
Tchaikovsky’s glorious score and Anthony Ward’s delectable sets and costumes combine with Bourne’s dazzling choreography to create a fresh and charmingly irreverent interpretation of the classic. Expect a sprinkling of delicious new surprises in this reinvented production for 2020.
