MaD Theatricals Presents: Clara's Dream - A Jazz Nutcracker

Greats of the tap world... shim-shammed, Lindy-hopped, and tap-tangoed their way to standing ovations.

MaD Theatricals Presents: Locally grown, nationally known Clara's Dream A Jazz Nutcracker, which has thrilled audiences from New York to New Hampshire, returns to jazz up the holidays this year with an exclusive limited engagement at the Music Hall in Portsmouth, NH. This high-voltage swinging and sophisticated adaptation of Tchaikovsky's fairy tale ballet is a joyous jazz and tap celebration.
Drika Overton's MaD Theatricals has transformed the treasured masterpiece into a percussive dance party for the whole family. Virtuosic tappers dance the enchanted story of the "Jazz Nut" with tap styles from Irish and African to Bebop, Latin and Lindyhop. Add the swinging Paul Arslanian jazz sextet, and like magic, Clara's Dream comes to life as an effervescent classic with rhythm and pizazz.
