What if, instead of being transported to the land of sweets, Clara (or, in this case, her great niece, Sarah) woke up on the fly-infested island of misfit toys? This silly short is a fun and festive sequel to The Nutcracker for young performers, but you don't need to be familiar with the source material to enjoy the puns, laugh-out-loud wordplay, and antics! I think my favorite character was the Fly Girl, a character whose commitment to the bit is as admirable as it is hilarious! This would be a fun alternative to traditional school holiday programs! Sweet!!

This was a tremendous amount of whimsy. An effective modern update of the classic Nutcracker story with a lot of fun parts for actors to play. This would be great for youth theater, high school performances, etc. Loved the subtle allusions to the original story and the new wave take on the original elements. The rhyming parts were a lot of fun as well. I can just see audiences having a lot of Christmas enjoyment with this show, and isn't that what it's all about? This Nutcracker is definitely sweet, indeed.

What a way to kick off the holiday reading season! This is a worthy sequel to the holiday classic, which should become a classic on its own! Is your theater struggling with finances? Then produce this show! Every year! Box office bonanza! Get your Glocnabasha in gear!
