For this season's production of
The Nutcracker: 6,600 hairpins, 400 pairs of tights, 560 pages of music (weighing 9 pounds total), and 1,000 pounds of snow. And that's just for 20 performances. But it's about quality more than quantity at this Christmastime production's first season at the Kauffman Center for the Performing Arts (1601 Broadway, 816-994-7200). Experience the classic music of Tchaikovsky, played by the Kansas City Symphony, and the choreography of Todd Bolender, when
The Nutcracker is performed at 2 and 7:30 p.m. The holiday staple continues through December 24. For tickets and a performance schedule, see
ticketing.kcballet.org or call 816-931-2232.
