Celebrate 25 years of George Balanchine's The Nutcracker Monday, June 25

My grandmother took me to see the Nutcracker as a little girl. It was magical and one of my favorite memories. This year, we will take our two little dancers to see the pros dance to this magical, holiday classic.

This year is extra special: it is the 25th anniversary of George Balanchine's the Nutcracker at the Pennsylvania Ballet. The season kicks off on Monday, June 25 at noon at the Kimmel Center Box Office at Broad and Spruce Streets.


On Monday, join your favorite Nutcracker characters (like the Sugar Plum Fairy and Mouse King!) at the Kimmel Center Box Office for activities, special ticket offers, and more! While you’re there, you can become part of Pennsylvania Ballet’s Nutcracker ad campaign. Just pose for our photographer at the event and tell us how you know it's Nutcracker Season.

The first 25 people to arrive can purchase Nutcracker tickets for only $25.

And mark your calendars for more special offers and surprises on the 25th of each month through December.

Can't make the event? Join the celebration and finish the sentence: "I know it's Nutcracker Season when..." and email it to info@paballet.org or tweet " @paballet using #pabnutcrackerseason.
