One of the most popular dance productions ever staged in the UK, Matthew Bourne’s Nutcracker! returns to Sadler’s Wells this Christmas to celebrate its 20th anniversary with a limited seven week run. The Nutcracker is traditionally a celebration of sweetness – both the sentimental and saccharine kind – and one of the many joys of Matthew Bourne’s reinvention of the ballet is its all-out assault on sugar. Every performance reveals new detail and new comedy, and Anthony Ward’s designs remain a masterclass in transgressive costuming and spine-tingling theatrical effects.
