The Bang Group: Nut/Cracked

Choreographer David Parker and his Bang Group reprise their neovaudevillian version of The Nutcracker, a comedic deconstruction of the holiday classic that mixes tap, ballet, contemporary dance, disco and bubble-wrap stomping. The cast for this year's edition includes students from the 92nd Street Y Harkness Dance Center; the matinee on December 14 and the evening show on December 19 are followed by a Winter Wonderland Afterparty that includes hot chocolate, sweets, photo ops and a tap-dancing station.
