Featuring all the dancing, toys and excitement of the Nutcracker, the Sensory-Friendly version does not include flashing lights, smoke/fog and sudden noises. Viewers benefit from relaxed house rules that allow for noise and movement during the show, along with tablets and phones if needed and access to a Quiet Zone is available throughout their visit. Social stories are also available to help prepare for the performance. We hope that you will join us in celebrating the debut of the newest iteration of this classic story!

Tickets need to be picked up at Will Call on the day of the performance.

Before the show, attendees are invited to enjoy a "Meet & Greet" with members of The Nutcracker cast in the Anello Atrium (subject to dancer availability)
